Abstract

Using a phenomenological model for layered superconductors, we derive a formalism for the critical temperature T c in terms of the layer numbers. We show that T c of a system of n identical layers is the same as that of a single layer for all values of n. In a periodic layered structure composed of two kinds of layers, T c increases monotonically with the number of higher-T c layers. When the carrier number depends on structure, T c shows a behavior consistent with the experimental data on some high-T c superconductors such as Tl and Bi families. We make a suggestion to achieve a higher T c .
