Abstract
Copper based high temperature superconductors are composed of Cu−O2 sheets in combination with thin atomic mediating layers and thick blocking layers which mediate and intercept interactions between Cu−O2 sheets, respectively. New possible superconductors can be designed by the stacking of the Cu−O2 sheets along with the periodic insertion of the mediating layers and different kinds of blocking layers. Characteristics of the blocking layers, and formulas of possible superconductors are given for one, two and three Cu−O2 sheets compounds.
