Abstract

The original Cooper pairing theory is reformulated for electrons confined in a layer. This analysis is motivated by the quasi-two-dimensional character of the oxidic superconductors, in case of which the extension of the initial (3D) Cooper framework is practically impossible. By considering the electrons moving in a flat box, due to quantum size effect the properties of these oxidic superconductors can be explained in a natural way. In this short communication we will concentrate to the variation of the critical transition temperature due to the layer thickness and to the number of conduction (Cu-O) planes. The results are confirmed by the experiment. This being an evidence for the presence of the charge confinement effect in the oxidic superconductors.
