A variety of synthetic strategies has been employed to prepare pure monophasic cuprates of
different families with good superconducting properties. Besides the traditional ceramic …

Copper oxide superconductors possess multi-layered structures with a layer sequence of-
CuO 2-(Q-CuO 2) n-1-AO-(MO 1±) m-AO-or-CuO 2-B-(O 2-B) s-1-CuO 2-AO-(MO 1±) m-AO …

We summarize our results of transverse-field muon-spin-relaxation (TF-μSR) experiments on
a variety of polycrystalline cuprate high-T c superconducting systems. In this paper we …

A systematic view stemmed for the most important parts from the authors' own research
