A study of a minimal anomalous occupancy is carried out when a small gap occurs near the Fermi surface. A limit which tends softly to the normal occupancy can be introduced. This framework is applied to a quasi-bidimensional fermion gas which can mimick the copper oxide planes in cuprate superconductors. The energy scale implied by this minimally anomalous occupancy (the soft normal limit) for high-T c cuprate superconductors is of the order of the Debye energy. Yet this anomalous occupancy framework overcomes the phonon barrier and a good description for the critical temperature of a representative set of high-T c copper oxide superconductors is obtained.

We consider a parity-preserving QED 3 model with spontaneous breaking of the gauge symmetry as a framework for the evaluation of the electron–electron interaction potential underlying high-T c superconductivity. The fact that the resulting potential, -CsK0(Mr), is non-confining and "weak" (in the sense of Kato) strongly suggests the mechanism of pair-condensation. This potential, compatible with an s-wave order parameter, is then applied to the Schrödinger equation for the sake of numerical calculations, thereby enforcing the existence of bound states. The results worked out by means of our theoretical framework are checked by considering a number of phenomenological data extracted from different copper oxide superconductors. The agreement may motivate a deeper analysis of our model viewing an application to quasiplanar cuprate superconductors. The data analyzed here suggest an energy scale of 1–10 meV for the breaking of the U(1)-symmetry.

Tighter-bound Cooper fermion pairs are obtained in a model with anomalous occupancy for fermions confined to an infinite slab mimicking the copper-oxide planes in cuprate superconductors. The model is applied to several typical high T c superconductors. T c values in this model are higher than those obtained with normal occupancy. Small but nonzero values for the anomalous occupancy parameter give a remarkably good description of the data.
