Abstract:
It has been shown that two-and three-center interactions arise in the strong-coupling regime for the 2D Kondo lattice; these interactions both induce and suppress the Cooper instability. It is important that, in contrast to the t-J* model, the three-center interactions promote the Cooper pairing and ensure the appearance of the superconducting phase with a high critical temperature Tc. The calculated concentration dependences of Tc agree well with the experimental data for the cuprate superconductors.
