Bw. Statt, INTERLAYER CORRELATIONS IN A JOSEPHSON COUPLING MODEL FOR CUPRATE SUPERCONDUCTORS, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 248(1-2), 1995, pp. 147-154
Modeling high-T-c superconductors as a superlattice of Josephson coupl
ed CuO2 layers the interlayer correlation function for the gap is calc
ulated. A significant correlation is found between adjacent CuO2 layer
s in the superconducting state. This is consistent with recent inelast
ic neutron scattering and NMR measurements which imply a strong interl
ayer correlation between normal regions in the superconducting state.
