Abstract

We present extensive magnetic measurements of the (CaxLa_1\ensuremath-x)(Ba_1.75\ensuremath-xLa0.25+x)Cu3Oy system with its four different families (x) having a Tcmax(x) variation of 28% and minimal structural changes. For each family, we measured the N'eel temperature, the anisotropies of the magnetic interactions, and the spin-glass temperature. Our results exhibit a universal relation Tc=cJns for all families, where c\ensuremath∼1, J is the in-plane Heisenberg exchange, and ns is the superconducting carrier density. This relates cuprate superconductivity to magnetism in the same sense that phonon-mediated superconductivity is related to atomic mass.
