Title: A valence-fluctuation mechanism with highly anisotropic S-wave pairing

Conference ·
OSTI ID:42476

The author has developed a fairly ab initio theory of cuprate superconductivity, based on the concept that the above-T{sub c} state is a normal Fermi liquid with strong electronic correlations of the type found in valence-fluctuation (VF) and heavy-fermion materials. The ground-state-correlation aspect is found to provide a satisfactory source or mechanism for the pairing. In addition to the high T{sub c}`s this explains many of the unusual features of cuprate superconductivity.
