Abstract

A simple model of intralayer and interlayer couplings based on a generalized BCS pairing theory of superlattices of layered superconductors is used to correlate the recently observed trends in the Tc’s of YBa2Cu3O7/PrBa2Cu3O7 superlattices. These observed trends in the Tc’s are obtained in this model if certain inequalitities are satisfied among the direct and that mediated by the PrBa2Cu3O7 intercell-interlayer, intracell-interlayer couplings. These inequalitities among the couplings may be reconciled in terms of the chemical structure of these systems.
