Abstract

Many compounds based on CuO2 planes (cuprates) superconduct below a critical temperature Tc. Some of them show a second phase where a spontaneous static magnetic field appears below a critical temperature Tg, which is lower than Tc. By comparing Tc and Tg in numerous superconducting families, each with its own maximum Tc, we find that the same energy scale determines both critical temperatures. This clearly indicates that the origin of superconductivity in the cuprates is magnetic.
