Coexistence of the superconducting condensate and the quasi-stationary states of hole pairs

The formation of bound states in the case of a direct Coulomb repulsion bet ween two holes whose reciprocal effective mass tensor has principal values of opposite signs is considered as a possible mechanism of high-T-C superco nductivity. The study of the specific features of the scattering amplitude shows that, under certain conditions, in addition to the quasi-stationary s tates, states with a negative attenuation are possible, which corresponds t o the tendency toward the formation of a hole pair condensate. The coexiste nce of the quasi-stationary states and the condensate qualitatively agrees with the phase diagram of p-type doped high-T-C superconducting cuprates. ( C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
