In this paper, we discuss several series of superconductors, MA
2Ca
n-1Cu
nO
2n+3 (M-12(n-1)n, M=(Cu,C), (Cu,S), (Cu,P), (Cu,Ge), B, Al, Ga, A=Ba or Sr) which are stable only under high pressure condition.
Each series includes members having Tc above 100 K. Tc is only slightly dependent on the constituent cation in the blocking
layer. For instance, M-1234 phases with M=B, Al, Ga have Tc’s near 110 K in spite of large differences in ionic radius of
the M ion.
