Abstract A model for the chain-to-plane charge transfer is proposed to account for the two plateaus, at 60 K and at 90 K, of the Tc(x) characteristics of the YBa2Cu3O6+x high-Tc superconductor. It is assumed that the number of holes transferred from a CuO chain of length l to two nearby CuO2 sheets is proportional to l (that is, to the number of oxygen atoms in the chain), if the chain length is greater than, or equal to, a certain critical chain length, lcr, that is required to trigger the charge transfer process. No holes are assumed to have been transferred from chains of length l<lcr. The calculated Tc(x) dependence is found to be in excellent agreement with the experimentally reported Tc(x). The critical chain length parameter is estimated to be equal to lcr=11 (eleven oxygen atoms in a chain), which is a greater value than that obtained in the previously proposed model for the chain-to-plane charge transfer (lcr=4). The results obtained out of the proposed model are briefly discussed.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
