Soon, Wu et al. [2]. in 1987 discovered YBa<sub>2</sub>Cu<sub>3</sub>O<sub>7</sub> (YBCO), which led to great achievements in all advanced fields of science and technology. However, still no consensus on a theoretical model to describe superconductivity (SC), the phase diagram (PD), and abnormalities in YBCO and other high-Tc cuprates, including the HTSC mechanism itself. In my former paper [3] studied SC in La<sub>2 − x</sub>Sr<sub>x</sub>CuO<sub>4</sub> (LBCO) using crystal symmetry effects on the distribution of Sr2 + atoms in the parent crystal, using the principles: (1) Crystal symmetry affects the distribution of Sr2 + dopants on lattice sites of the parent compound; (2) Sr2 + dopants affect lattice symmetry and SC. This gives a new vision for SC in LBCO and may be for other cuprates. For LBCO: 1-By a statistical method discovered that distances between doped LBCO crystals by O atoms equals coherence the length (CL) at the concentration of start of SC; 2- Using a model for the PD depending on distribution of (1 & 2 ) Sr2 + dopants ( leads to max Tc, adding more atoms decline it )for all the lattice sites each leads to represent a new phase in PD, thus succeed in explanations of the unclear changes in the phase diagram were obtained. Here in this research, the method is extended to study HTSC of YBa<sub>2</sub>Cu<sub>3</sub>O<sub>7</sub>.The compound YBCO is different in crystal structure and doping mechanism from LSCO, but the active element in both is the CuO layer, however the method with modifications leads to fruitful results includes:1- Determination of the correct theoretical value of the coherence length (CL) for YBCO by applying symmetry effects to find relation between the distance between doped YBCO crystals and corresponding hole concentration, for this task, two methods were designed i.e. statistical and the matrix methods, it was found ( by statistical method for YBCO, CL = 16.8 Å; by matrix method CL = 16.33 Å) these are in excellent agreement with experimental values when the hole concentration is ( 0.05), at which SC started; 2- Phase coherence will not started unless the distances between dopants is within the CL. So one of the lost fundamentals puzzles in HTSC in cuprates may be found, (may be the lost fundamental point that researchers seek )because CL is a basic concept in HTSC, linked with phase coherence which is the third and the control operation needed to start SC after charge parring and condensation ;3- This leads to understand that SC occurs in three stages: parring of charge carriers during hole doping instant, and condensation of charged pairs to low energy levels, and Phase coherence which occurs due to interaction between YBCO crystals doped with holes. 4- This leads to considering that the two ","PeriodicalId":669,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism","volume":"39 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147336726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore the self-energy of the hole exhibits what we call a Marginal FL* behaviour, i.e. the relaxation rate of the hole at zero temperature and small energy is proportional to the absolute value of the energy, measured from the Fermi surface. Along the nodal direction such behaviour combined with an additional Fermi liquid contribution is shown to be in agreement with many experimental data.
