Possible Room-Tc Superconductor with in-plane Ginzburg Sandwichin Cuprate-and Pnictide-likefamilyof Compounds

Abstract

Abstract On the basis of detailed analysis of resistive, neutron and optical experimental data in doped cuprates it is demonstrated that high critical temperature Tc of superconducting transition in these compounds is provided by Cooper pairing of mobile charge carriers in conducting charge (C) stripes due to delocalized, in-plane, charge-transfer (CT) excitons, propagating in semi-insulating spin (S) stripes, adjacent with C-ones. Such stripe structure arises in the pseudogap state in result of magnetic phase transition from spin-disordered state to magnetically-ordered one, like to incommensurate: T: T onset SDW in CuO2 planes at Tonset ≤ T’, which transition is accompanied by opening of the SDW-gap c SDW (pseudogap) at symmetrical parts of the Fermi surface. So-formed SDWstate, because of its incommensurability with the lattice period, generates the CDWwith wavelength ACDW = AS DW/2and, hence, the wave of lattice distortion. The crucial rise of Tc in cuprates duetoexcitonsis precededby moderate riseof Tc due to phonons, characteristic for partial dielectrization of electron energy spectrum in itinerant electron systems with interplay between superconductivity and magnetism. The picture is consistent with the Little-Ginzburg(LG) exciton mechanism of high-Tc superconductivity in planar geometry of GinzburgHTS-sandwich: insulator-metal-insulator. The new way to synthesize room-Tc supercon–ductors(RTS)in similar transitional-metal compounds with higher energyof in-planeCT transitionis proposed.
