Abstract

A theory of superconductivity within the extended t−J model, as relevant for cuprates, is developed. It is based on the equations of motion for projected fermionic operators and the mode-coupling approximation for the self-energy matrix. The dynamical spin susceptibility at various doping is considered as an input, extracted from experiments. The analysis shows that the superconductivity onset is dominated by the spin-fluctuation contribution. The coupling to spin fluctuations directly involves the next-nearest-neighbor hopping t′, hence Tc shows a pronounced dependence on t′. The latter can offer an explanation for the variation of Tc among different families of hole-doped cuprates.
