Abstract

We address the question of whether the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of high-Tc cuprates is enhanced when randomly distributed dopant atoms form an ordered array in the charge reservoir layers. This study is possible for the Sr2CuO3+δ superconductor with K2NiF4-type structure in which oxygen atoms only partially occupy the apical sites next to the CuO2 planes and act as hole dopants. We show that remarkable Tc enhancement up to 95K in this mono CuO2 layered high-temperature cuprate superconductor (HTS) is associated with the apical oxygen ordering, not to the hole concentration change. The result points a route toward further enhancement of Tc in cuprate superconductors.
