Abstract

We study the electronic structure of Cu-O high-Tc superconductors using a tight-binding Hamiltonian with strong intra-atomic and interatomic Coulomb repulsion. We assume that only Cu(3dx2−y2) and O(2px) and O(2py) orbitals are relevant. We solve finite clusters exactly and use a cell approximation to show that the basic assumptions together with quasidegeneracy of p and d energies leads to attractive interactions between holes in the ceramic superconductors.
