Abstract: | The presence of magnetic impurities leads to a drastic decrease inT c in the overdoped region, gaplessness, and the usual temperature dependence ofH c2. The magnetic moments are localized on the apical oxygen site, and this allows us to explain the increase inT c with the increase in the number of Cu-O planes in the unit cell. Applied pressure can raiseT c above the usual value at optimum doping, toward the “intrinsic”T c. The cuprates as a class of compounds have an upper limit ofT c in the rangeT c,upp=160–170 K. |
