Abstract

We review the field of high temperature cuprate superconductors, with emphasis on the nature of their electronic properties. After a general overview of experiment and theory, we concentrate on recent results obtained by angle resolved photoemission, inelastic neutron scattering, and optical conductivity, along with various proposed explanations for these results. We conclude by reviewing efforts which attempt to identify the energy savings involved in the formation of the superconducting ground state.
