This is a summary of a review article appearing in Reviews of Modern Physics, July 2003. The ground state of the cuprate superconductors is described using the paradigm of competing orders. This approach has led to numerous predictions, some of which have been tested in recent nanoscale experiments.
Several low-~ superconductors (Nb, Ta, V, LaAI2) were doped with small amounts of impurities in order to vary the Ginzburg-Landau parameter near its crltical value K = 1/42. The corresponding magnetization curves show type-I, type-II/1 and type-II/2 behavior depending on the magnitude of t at T o.
