Abstract

The synthesis of many types of high T, superconducting cuprates occurred over a decade ago but the cause of the superconducting condensation and electronic structure of such materials is still a matter of significant deliberation. Although there is no consensus as to the origin of pairing, there is, on the other hand, a wide agreement about the main behaviour, which a theoretical description should provide. In this paper a theory is presented which accounts, in a straightforward way, for much of the essential behaviour of high Tc superconducting cuprates.
