Abstract

For all high-temperature superconductive (HTSC) cuprate phases, an empirical relationship has been found between the temperature of the transition to the superconducting state (T c) and the ratio between the interatomic distances of copper atoms along the diagonal of the CuO2 plane and the sum of “effective” distances from the CuO2 plane to two adjacent cation planes calculated with regard to the charge and size of the cations and doping atoms. The critical parameters controlling T c are discussed.
