Abstract

Charge transfer in Pb2Sr2YCu3O8 (PSYCO) compounds is evaluated using the self-consistent bond/charge model. When Ce+4 or Am+4 replaces Y+3, the resulting n-type material does not superconduct. When the rare-earth replacing Y is trivalent (e.g., Y+3, Tb+3, or Pr+3) and the PSYCO compound is doped p type (e.g., with >15% Ca), PSYCO exhibits superconductivity. This lack of n−p doping symmetry is inconsistent with most cuprate-plane models of high-temperature superconductivity, but is consistent with oxygen models.
