This is the 37th volume in a series that provides an international forum for publication of recent experimental findings and new theoretical insights in superconductivity. The first two chapters present the physics of superconducting multilayers and the vortex state in layered Type-II superconductors. Various cuprate-based HTS systems are described in chapters on crystal chemistry and properties of (M2Cu2O3)m(CuO2)n type and related cuprates, oxygen engineering for functional oxide materials, and essential chemistry of high Tc cuprate synthesis through solution precursor methods. The last chapter looks at how defects in organic superconductors influence their magnetization and related properties.
