Enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature in cuprate heterostructures
Enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature in cuprate heterostructures
Is it possible to increase ${T}_{c}$ by constructing cuprate heterostructures, which combine the high pairing energy of underdoped layers with the large carrier density of proximate overdoped layers? We investigate this question within a model bilayer system using an effective theory of the doped Mott insulator. Interestingly, the question hinges …
