Abstract

We explore energy scales, features in the normal state transport, relevant interactions and constraints for the pairing mechanisms in the high-Tc cuprates and Fe-pnictides. Based on this analysis we attempt to identify a number of attributes of superconductors with a higher T_c. Expanded version of the article published in Nature Physics, 7, 271 (2011).
