Abstract

The pairing potential distribution over the thickness of superconducting CuO2 layers in cuprate HTSCs is determined within the Ginzburg–Landau (GL) theory using the microscopic justification of this theory by Gor’kov. It is found that the pairing potential in them is significantly suppressed due to the effect of non-superconducting interlayers, which results in a decrease in the critical temperature of these superconductors. The temperature dependences of the effective energy gap and current–voltage (I–V) characteristic of tunnel junctions of the “break junction” type made of these superconductors are calculated.
