Abstract
It is proposed to create a multilayer structure in which an underdoped copper-oxide high-temperature superconductor is sandwiched between high-dielectric-constant insulator layers such as ferro- or ferri-electrics, thereby reducing the Coulomb repulsion between the intrinsically present clusters or stripes in the CuO2 layers of the pseudogap phase. This should lead to an increase in the size of such clusters, resulting in smaller distances between them and coherence at higher temperature, i.e., a higher T c with a smaller pseudogap (T ∗−T c )
