Phase diagram and dependence of the critical temperature T_c on the pressure for Tl_(0.5)Pb_(0.5)Sr₂Ca_(1-x)Y_xCu₂)₇

Using a mean-field BCS-like approach on the bidimensional extended Hubbard Hamiltonian we calculate the superconducting transition temperature Tc as a function of the hole content nh, for the d-wave and extended-s wave gap symmetries. To describe the pressure effect on Tc we assume it induces a change in the magnitude V of the attractive superconductor potential. This assumption yields an explanation for the intrinsic term, and together with the well known change in nh, we set the critical temperature as Tc=Tc(nh(P),V(P)). With this we obtain a general expansion of Tc in terms of the pressure P and the hole content nh. We apply this expansion to the Tl_{0.5}Pb_{0.5}Sr_2Ca_{1-x}Y_xCu_2)_7 system.
