Abstract

The upper boundary of the pseudogap state has been derived as a function of the doping within the impurity mechanism of high-Tc superconductivity under the assumption that, in the region bordering the superconducting phase on the side of the doping less than the optimum level (the pseudogap region), there exist finite superconducting clusters and the boundary of the superconducting phase corresponds to the threshold of the existence of an infinite superconducting cluster. The position of this boundary is in agreement with experiment. The condition imposed on the doping level at which the giant proximity effect should be observed has been derived. It means essentially that the thickness of the nonsuperconducting layer should be small compared to the average size of the superconducting clusters.
