Results of high-T_c superconductivity studies are analyzed using the authors’ model, which assumes that the interaction of electrons with two-site negative-U centers (due to charged dopant localization near impurity ions) is responsible for many anomalous properties, and indeed the very superconductivity, of high-T _c superconductors. It is shown that the basic properties of high-T_c superconductors and the details of the superconducting and magnetic phase diagrams ofLa_2-xM_xCuO₄ (M=Ba, Sr) can be explained by this model.
