The insulator-superconductor transformation in cuprates

We model the layered cuprates as doped 2D semiconductors with (bi)polaronic carriers partly localized by disorder. The composition-induced transition to the superfluid Bose-liquid state takes place without any intermediate, classical 'metallic' regime. The Mott criterion, highly successful...
