Abstract

Sixty known high-temperature cuprates from different systems are analyzed. It is shown that the temperature of the transition to the superconducting state (Tc) correlates with the Coulomb interaction Vij between the Cu cations from the neighboring CuO2 layers. The dependence Tc(Vij) is plotted as two families of parabolic curves resembling an orthogonal system of confocal parabolas. It follows from this relationship that the optimal doping of CuO2 layers depends on the Cu-Cu distances between the neighboring CuO2 layers. Methods of varying the charges on and the distances between the copper atoms are demonstrated. The potential applications of this relationship for developing the compositions of new high-temperature materials and choosing methods to raise Tc of known high-temperature cuprates are discussed.
