Structural analysis of high-Tc cuprate superconductors
Abstract
It is shown that members of the Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O and Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconducting families fabricated so far are built up of superconductor-semiconductor arrays. Four general homologous series are written down for these two families. The basic fundamental block in each series is itself a superconductor. It is suggested that the Y-Ba-Cu-O family has a similar characteristic if YBaCu2O(5-d) is a superconductor.
