The mechanism of hole carrier generation and the nature of pseudogap- and 60K-phases in YBCO

In the framework of the model assuming the formation of NUC on the pairs of Cu ions in CuO$_{2}$ plane the mechanism of hole carrier generation is considered and the interpretation of pseudogap and 60 K-phases in $YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{6+\delta}$. is offered. The calculated dependences of hole concentration in $YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{6+\delta}$ on doping $\delta$ and temperature are found to be in a perfect quantitative agreement with experimental data. As follows from the model the pseudogap has superconducting nature and arises at temperature $T^{*}>T_{c\infty}>T_{c}$ in small clusters uniting a number of NUC's due to large fluctuations of NUC occupation. Here $T_{c\infty}$ and $T_{c}$ are the superconducting transition temperatures of infinite and finite clusters of NUC's, correspondingly. The calculated $T^{*}(\delta)$ and $T_{n}(\delta)$ dependences are in accordance with experiment. The area between $T^{*}(\delta)$ and $T_{n}(\delta)$ corresponds to the area of fluctuations where small clusters fluctuate between superconducting and normal states owing to fluctuations of NUC occupation. The results may serve as important arguments in favor of the proposed model of HTSC.
