Tc oscillations in multilayered cuprates superconductors
Abstract
Description
When combining the BCS expression of Tc with a shear modulus constant model, we can demonstrate that Tc oscillates depending on the number of the cuprate planes and that it reaches its first maximum for three planes. This is in good agreement with experimental data and suggests that the electron- phonon coupling is essential to the superconductivity of the cuprates.
