We used the hydrostatic pressure P<1 GPa as a tool to change the c-axis interlayer coupling of Bi 2 Sr 1.5 La 0.5 CuO 6+δ (Bi-2201) and Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+δ (Bi-2212) single crystals. The c-axis critical current, as a measure of the interlayer coupling, drastically increases with pressure (up to 270% GPa -1). The superconducting critical temperature, on the contrary, only slightly increases with a rate of ≈ 2 - 6% GPa -1, This implies that the CuO-interlayer coupling has little effect on Tc in Bi-2201.
