Possible enhancement of superconductivity in ladder-type cuprates by longitudinal compression

We study theoretically the effect of uniaxial deformation of ladder-type cuprate superconductors. Model construction based on first principles calculation shows that the rung-to-leg ratio of the nearest-neighbor hoppings counterintuitively increases when the lattice is compressed in the longitudinal...
