Abstract

I propose that a dopant charge singlet bonding state may arise from the hybridization of molecular orbitals in a cluster containing 13 Cu atoms in the CuO2 plane of the superconducting cuprates. This singlet state forms a preformed pair with low binding energy that is spatially bounded and weakly interacting, and that can undergo Bose-Einstein condensation. I show that this model is able to account, in a quantitative and natural way, for many of the thermodynamic and electronic characteristics of the superconducting cuprates, including many of the key experimental angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, muon spin-relaxation, and microwave results on the temperature and doping dependencies of both the superfluid density and the pairing strengths (superconducting gap, leading-edge midpoint, and pseudogap) in these high-temperature superconductors.
