AbstractOne potential objection to virtual “sandwich excitons” as a pairing mechanism is that the transition densities may not be large enough to overcome the inherent disadvantage of a large energy denominator . In model calculations, we find that some of the transition densities and matrix elements can be large even if the dielectric constant is sizeable for, e.g., LaO excitons in La2‐xSrxCuO4

This article presents the results of model calculations carried out to determine the mesoscopic structural features of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) crystal structures, and especially their characteristic high critical temperature (Tc) and anisotropy. The crystal structure of high-temperature superconductors (HTSc) is unique in having some mesoscopic features. For example, the structures of a majority of cuprite superconductors are comprised of two structural blocks, perovskite and rock salt, stacked along the c-direction. This article calculates the interaction between the perovskite and rock salt blocks in the form of combinative energy in order to elucidate the effects of mesoscopic structures on high-Tc superconductivity. Both X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy show that a ‘fixed triangle’ exists in the samples under investigation. The article also examines the importance of electron–phonon coupling in high-Tc superconductors.

ABSTRACTAs Bednorz and Muller noted in their original publication reporting on the discovery of high temperature superconductivity, their oxides present many of the features of granular superconductors. This behavior was first primarily ascribed to poor connectivity of the grains in the bulk ceramic samples. but later studies have pointed out to more fundamental reasons for these similarities. We will discuss them after first reviewing the well established properties of low Tc granular superconductors.
