Abstract :
Some background information on superconducting ceramics is given, and the history of yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) is discussed. The crystal structure of superconducting YBCO is described. The production and extraction methods of bulk samples of YBCO are detailed. Different theories of superconductivity in YBCO are addressed, and applications of YBCO superconductors are discussed.<>
