Abstract

A critical analysis of experimental data reveals a universal relationship between Tc/Tc,max and hole content among the p-type high-Tc cuprate superconductors. Each individual compound is characterized by the value of its maximum Tc, Tc,max while the variation of Tc/Tc,max with the hole content is independent of the compound considered. The universal curve is characterized by a plateau, rather than a parabold, with sharp bends at both sides. The Tc versus hole content curve has a close relation to hole contents determined by ordered arrangements of holes in the two-dimensional CuO2 layer.
