Abstract
Since the dawn of the field of superconductivity, advances in the field tended to come in the most unexpected fashion. With the ability to condense Helium to its liquid state and the subsequent groundbreaking measurements by Onnes, the field progressed with the cataloguing of the critical transition temperatures of solid metals and subsequently binary compounds. Theoretical explanations from Meissner and Ochsenfeld, Josephson, London, Abrikosov, Ginzberg and Landau, and Bardeen, Cooper, and Schreiffer provided the groundwork in understanding necessary to explain the observed phenomena and predict what could lead to higher measured values of transition properties. Further significant development did not arise until Bednorz and Mueller speculated on a copper-oxide system, which later provided for the fundamental breakthrough of YBCO by Chu and associates.
