Abstract

We show that in superconducting materials with CuO₂ layers spin-polarons associated with itinerant holes in the e_v band (Cu dz² - Opπ band,) are created by strong intra-atomic exchange interaction (Hund's coupling) with localized dx²-y² holes. Then the interplay of Hund's coupling and superexchange between Cu²⁺(dx²-y²) spins gives rise to an attractive exchange interaction between spin-polarons, which leads to the formation of spin-singlet spin-polarons pairs. This contributes to high temperature superconductivity. By solving an gap equation it is shown that the s-wave pairing reproduces the observed x dependence of T_c as well as the right magnitudes of T_c in (La_1-xSr_x)₂CuO₄ satisfactorily.
