Abstract

A strategy to enhance d-wave superconducting correlations is proposed based on our numerical study for correlated electron models for high-Tc cuprates. We observe that the pairing is enhanced when the single-electron level around (pi,0) is close to the Fermi level EF, while the d-wave pairing interaction itself contains elements to disfavor the pairing due to shift of the (pi,0)-level. Angle-resolved photoemission results in the cuprates are consistently explained in the presence of the d-wave pairing interaction. Our proposal is the tuning of the (pi,0)-level under the many-body effects to EF by optimal design of band structure.
