Superconducting materials classes: Introduction and overview

Abstract An introduction to and overview of the contents of this Special Issue are given. 32 classes of superconducting materials are discussed, grouped under the three categories “conventional”, “possibly unconventional” and “unconventional” according to the mechanism believed to give rise to superconductivity.
