Doped cuprates are inhomogeneous superconductors. The concept of an intrinsic critical temperature, Tcintr.$equiv$ Tc*, whose value greatly exceeds that for the resistive Tcres.$equiv$ Tc, is supported by a number of experimental studies, including those performed recently. These data are discussed in this review. The anomalous diamagnetism observed at Tcres.$equiv$ <T< Tc* is a manifestation of the presence of superconducting clusters embedded into a normal metallic matrix. The value of intrinsic critical temperature in some cuprates reaches a value which is close to room temperature. The a.c. properties of such inhomogeneous systems are discussed.

Large pulsed magnetic fields up to 60 Tesla are used to suppress the contribution of superconducting fluctuations (SCF) to the ab-plane conductivity above Tc in a series of YBa2Cu3O(6+x). These experiments allow us to determine the field Hc(T) and th
e temperature Tc above which the SCFs are fully suppressed. A careful investigation near optimal doping shows that Tc is higher than the pseudogap temperature T*, which is an unambiguous evidence that the pseudogap cannot be assigned to preformed pairs. Accurate determinations of the SCF contribution to the conductivity versus temperature and magnetic field have been achieved. They can be accounted for by thermal fluctuations following the Ginzburg-Landau scheme for nearly optimally doped samples. A phase fluctuation contribution might be invoked for the most underdoped samples in a T range which increases when controlled disorder is introduced by electron irradiation. Quantitative analysis of the fluctuating magnetoconductance allows us to determine the critical field Hc2(0) which is found to be be quite similar to Hc(0) and to increase with hole doping. Studies of the incidence of disorder on both Tc and T* allow us to propose a three dimensional phase diagram including a disorder axis, which allows to explain most observations done in other cuprate families.
The discovery of high temperature superconductivity in the cuprates in 1986 triggered a spectacular outpouring of creative and innovative scientific inquiry. Much has been learned over the ensuing 28 years about the novel forms of quantum matter that
are exhibited in this strongly correlated electron system. This progress has been made possible by improvements in sample quality, coupled with the development and refinement of advanced experimental techniques. In part, avenues of inquiry have been motivated by theoretical developments, and in part new theoretical frameworks have been conceived to account for unanticipated experimental observations. An overall qualitative understanding of the nature of the superconducting state itself has been achieved, while profound unresolved issues have come into increasingly sharp focus concerning the astonishing complexity of the phase diagram, the unprecedented prominence of various forms of collective fluctuations, and the simplicity and insensitivity to material details of the normal state at elevated temperatures. New conceptual approaches, drawing from string theory, quantum information theory, and various numerically implemented approximate approaches to problems of strong correlations are being explored as ways to come to grips with this rich tableaux of interrelated phenomena.
In this brief report an attempt is made for a mise-a-point of the subject of the phase fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter above Tc in cuprates, particularly as they appear in underdoped compounds. Measurements of torque magnetometry,
Nernst effect and isothermal diamagnetic magnetization curves published in the last years are taken into consideration. Although by different experimental approaches and in different magnetic field ranges it can be stated that vortex-antivortex excitations and phase fluctuations among islands of local non-zero order parameter lacking of long range coherence do occur in a relevant temperature range above Tc, particularly in underdoped compounds. The role of the diamagnetic magnetization curves on approaching Tc from above in opening the field with clear signature is remarked, while enlightening comparison with other approaches appear possible.
We have studied the momentum dependence of the energy gap of Bi2(Sr,R)2CuOy by angleresolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), particularly focusing on the difference between R=La and Eu. By comparing the gap function and characteristic temperature
s between the two sets of samples, we show that there exist three distinct energy scales, {Delta}pg, {Delta}sc0, and {Delta}eff sc0, which correspond to T* (pseudogap temperature), Tonset (onset temperature of fluctuating superconductivity), and Tc (critical temperature of coherent superconductivity). The results not only support the existence of a pseudogap state below T* that competes with superconductivity but also the duality of competition and superconducting fluctuation at momenta around the antinode below Tonset.
The use of high pressure to realize superconductivity in the vicinity of room temperature has a long history, much of it focused on achieving this in hydrogen rich materials. This paper provides a brief overview of the work presented at this May 2018
conference, together with background on motivation and techniques, the theoretical predictions of superconductivity in lanthanum hydride, and the subsequent experimental confirmation. Theoretical calculations using density functional based structure search methods combined with BCS type models predicted a new class of dense, hydrogen rich materials superhydrides with superconducting critical temperatures in the vicinity of room temperature at and above 200 GPa pressures. The existence of a series of these phases in the La H system was subsequently confirmed experimentally, and techniques were developed for their syntheses and characterization, including measurements of structural and transport properties, at megabar pressures. Four probe electrical transport measurements of a cubic phase identified as LaH10 display signatures of superconductivity at temperatures above 260 K near 200 GPa. The results are supported by pseudo four probe conductivity measurements, critical current determinations, low-temperature xray diffraction, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The measured high Tc is in excellent agreement with the original calculations. The experiments also reveal additional superconducting phases with Tc between 150 K and above 260 K. This effort highlights the novel physics in hydrogen-rich materials at high densities, the success of materials by design in the discovery and creation of new materials, and the possibility of new classes of superconductors Tc at and above room temperature.
