Abstract

We consider the phonon-mediated BCS mechanism for superconductivity. We show that in a material with a very large ionic dielectric constant, the maximum Tc is increased by an order-of-magnitude over the value in "conventional" metals, for a 2-D metal. This model applies to cuprates and organic metals.
