Dependence of superconducting transition temperature on oxygen content and number of CuO2 layers in mercury-based cuprates

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The oxygen content effects on the superconducting transition temperature in the HgBa2Can-1CunO2n+2+δ(n=1-5) have been analyzed systematically in terms of the bond valence sums. The parabolic correlation between the Tc and Cu valence is observed for the single, double and triple CuO2 layer materials. Inhomogeneous charge distribution in the two types of CuO2 planes is found when n≥3. The nonmonotonic dependence of the maximum Tc on n is investigated on the basis of both the total mobile hole concentration in the octahedral or pyramidal CuO2 planes at the optimal level and the generalized Lawrence-Doniach theory.
