Abstract

Particle-induced shifts in the transition temperature

T_{c}

of cuprate superconductors are much larger than expected for the number of defects expected to be produced, and suggest that oxygen displacements in

{CuO}_{2}

planes are about an order of magnitude more effective in reducing

T_{c}

than oxygen displacements in the intercalating layers.
