Abstract

Considering CuO2CuO_{2} conducting layers present in high Tc superconductors as plasma sheets, we proposed a prescription for the TcT_{c} pressure behavior taken into account the Casimir effect. The Casimir energy arises from these parallel plasma sheets (Cu-O planes) when it take placed in the regime of nanometer scale (small \textit{d} distance). The charge reservoir layer supplies carries to the conducting nCuO2nCuO_{2} layers, which are a source of superconductivity. The pressure induced charge transfer model (PICTM) makes use of an intrinsic term, which description is still unclear. Considering Casimir energy describing the TcT_{c} for the case of hight-TcT_{c} superconductors, we propose an explicit expression to the intrinsic term. Realistic parameters used in the proposed expression have shown an agreement with experimental intrinsic term data observed in some high-TcT_{c} compounds.
