Electron Spin Pairing in High-Tc Superconductors
-
Abstract
An electron pairing theory based on effective electron spin coupling mediated by antiferromagnetically correlated local moments is presented to account for high-Tc phenomena. We show that Kondo scattering and the suppression of the antiferromagnetic superexchange between Cu2+ moments lead to local triplet pairing, the mechanism underlying high-Tc superconductivity.
