Abstract

Based on very recent experimental evidence about magnetic transitions in high-Tc superconductors the role of superconductivity and magnetism is analyzed. A model of interacting electrons in a one-dimensional system is constructed, taking into account that antiferromagnetic interactions in the underlying lattice are present. The origin of this antiferromagnetism could be due to local Y d-electrons or rare earth f-electrons, related to the structure. Self-consistent calculations in this model show the possibility of a new state, with a gap, in which there are electron pairs. The characteristics of this new state are discussed in relation to superconductivity. The results of this model suggest that an extension of it could be applied to the new superconducting ceramics.
