A. Bussmannholder et al., LOW-ENERGY EXCITATIONS IN HIGH-T-C SUPERCONDUCTORS - THE CRUCIAL ROLEOF THE APICAL OXYGEN-ION, Czechoslovak journal of Physics, 46, 1996, pp. 935-936
A four-band model Hamiltonian is used to evaluate the BCS-coherence fa
ctors which yield the results for low-frequency electromagnetic respon
se and NMR data in the superconducting state. It is found that the ape
x oxygen ion dominantly contributes to the low frequency properties of
high-T-c superconductors which have been evidenced elsewhere as favou
ring d-wave pairing.
