Possible high Tc superconductivity in the Ba-La-Cu-O system
TL;DR: In this paper, Ba−La−Cu−O system, with the composition BaxLa5−xCu5O5(3−y) have been prepared in polycrystalline form, and samples with x=1 and 0.75,y>0, annealed below 900°C under reducing conditions, consist of three phases, one of them a perovskite-like mixed-valent copper compound.

Superconductivity above 130 K in the Hg–Ba–Ca–Cu–O system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided support for this conjecture, with the discovery of superconductivity above 130 K in a material containing HgBa2Ca2Cu3O1+x (with three CuO2 layers per unit cell), Hg Ba2CaCu2O6+X (with two O2 layers) and an ordered superstructure comprising a defined sequence of the unit cells of these phases.

Review of the superconducting properties of MgB2
Cristina Buzea,Tsutomu Yamashita +1 more
TL;DR: The main normal and superconducting state properties of magnesium diboride, a material known since the early 1950s but only recently discovered to be superconductive at a remarkably high critical temperature Tc = 40 K for a binary compound, are discussed in this paper.

Some criteria for a power producing thermonuclear reactor
TL;DR: In this article, the power balance in thermonuclear reactors operating under various idealized conditions is given. And the authors consider self-sustaining and pulsed systems, and they find that not only must the temperature be sufficiently high but also the reaction must be sustained long enough for a definite fraction of the fuel to be burnt.
