Abstract

We observe significant frequency shifts of oxygen vibrations in (Tl,Cd)2(Ba,La)2CuO6+δ upon doping; the frequency shifts result from charge transfer from the intermediate TlO2 layers to the CuO2 planes. These observations are interpreted by comparison with data on (La,Ba)2CuO4+δ, which is isostructural with (Tl,Cd)2(Ba,La)2CuO6+δ, except that it contains no intermediate TlO2 filling layers. The data suggest that the twice higher Tc in the Tl compound results from a superconducting pairing interaction between carriers in the CuO2 planes aided by dynamic charge transfer along the c axis, with the polarizable structure between the conducting layers playing an important role.
