Abstract
It is well known now the high T c superconductors layered cuprates can be described as stacking up of the metallic superconducting CuO 2 layers separated from each other with layers of different atoms constituting an insulator. The strong-coupled supercurrent flow in this anisotropic structure has been shown to be confined within CuO 2 (ab) planes.
