Phenomenological model of high-Tc superconductivity: a MCS model

TL;DR

This paper discusses a phenomenological MCS model for high-Tc superconductivity in hole-doped cuprates, emphasizing experimental facts like stripes, spin fluctuations, and dual order parameters, and extends the discussion to NdCeCuO cuprate.

Contribution

It introduces and supports a MCS phenomenological model based on experimental observations, providing a unified framework for understanding high-Tc superconductivity.

Findings

Support from recent experimental data for the MCS model

Identification of key features like stripes and spin fluctuations

Application of the model to NdCeCuO cuprate

Abstract

Since the introduction of a MCS (Magnetic Coupling between Stripes) phenomenological model [cond-mat/9902355, to be published in J. Superconductivity] for hole-doped cuprates many new experimental data have been presented in the literature as evidence in support of the MCS model. We consider here recent data and the MCS model which is based upon experimental facts, namely, the presence of (i) stripes; (ii) spin fluctuations, and (iii) two order parameters (for pairing and for long-phase coherence) in hole-doped cuprates. We discuss also the superconductivity in the s-wave NdCeCuO cuprate.
