Abstract

The c-axis interlayer coupling of Bi2Sr1.5La0.5CuO6+δ and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ single crystals was changed by means of hydrostatic pressure P<1GPa resulting in a drastic increase of the c-axis critical current Ic (up to 270%GPa−1) and decrease of the normal state resistance Rn (down to −60%GPa−1). The superconducting critical temperature only slightly increases with a rate of ≈2%–6%GPa−1. The much stronger effect of pressure on Ic and Rn in Bi2Sr1.5La0.5CuO6+δ implies that the CuO-interlayer coupling has little effect on Tc in this compound.
