Abstract
A unified picture is obtained of the Cooper pair-breaking data by Cu-s ite Zn and Ni in Nd2-zCezCuO4, La2-betaSrbetaCuO4, Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8, Bi1. 8Pb0.2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10, YBa2Cu3O7, and YBa2Cu4O8. The data are generally i nconsistent with spin-fluctuation d-wave pairing mechanisms of superco nductivity and with all two-dimensional cuprate-plane models. The data are consistent with superconductivity in the charge reservoirs.
