Abstract The multilayered cuprates of HgBa 2 Ca n −1 Cu n O y (Hg-system) and Ba 2 Ca n −1 Cu n O 2 n (O, F) (F-system) ( n = 5–9) have been synthesized under high-pressure to investigate the variation of T c . The a - and c -parameters showed reasonable behavior: as the n increases from 5 to 9 the a -parameter approached that of an infinite layer CaCuO 2 (IL) and the average interval of c (or c /2) was close to the c -parameter of the IL. All the samples showed high T c values of about 100 and 80 K for Hg- and F-system, respectively. In addition, the T c was almost constant for n ⩾ 5 for both systems. We have shown that the T c variations can be explained using inhomogeneous charge distribution model as follows. The high T c value is maintained because the charge reservoir layer supplies enough carriers for superconductivity to the adjacent CuO 2 planes (OP) even for large n . The T c is independent of n because the carrier concentration of OP is insensitive to n for large n .
