Simple predictors of $T_c$ in superconducting cuprates and the role of interactions between effective Wannier orbitals in the $d-p$ 3-band model

Jaksa Vucicevic, Michel Ferrero

At optimal doping, different cuprate compounds can exhibit vastly different critical temperatures for superconductivity ($T_c$), ranging from about 20 K to about 135 K. The precise…
