An Overview of the Basic Physical Properties of MgB${}_2$

Abstract

The basic physical properties of MgB${}_2$ have been well established over the past two years of intensive research. At this point there is a general consensus about the values for the isotope shift, critical fields, most of the salient length scales, and general anisotropies. In this paper we will review the determination of these parameters and set the stage for further, more detailed discussions of specific aspects of the physics of MgB${}_2$.
