摘　　要：The increase of the critical temperature Tc for superconductivity in Al1−x(SiO2)x cermets with increasing x correlates with a decrease of the electron density n due to electron transfer, expressed by Tc/Tc,max=1−γ⋅n2(*). Behind the formula (*) and Tc/Tc,max=1−82.6(P−0.16)2, which is characteristic of hole-doped cuprat high-temperature superconductors, lies a general phenomenon, namely electron transfer, which equalizes potential differences in the material and leads to a strong reduction of n. P is the fraction of holes filled by the transferred electrons. A quantitative consideration gives Tc(x)/Tc,max=1−(1−x1−x0)2(**), where x is the doping concentration and x0 is the concentration at which superconductivity begins. At x=xmax=1the electron source is completely depleted and with further growth of x the hole density p starts to increase and Tc decreases until superconductivity disappears completely at x=2−x0. Taking into account the formula (**), the hypothesis arose that for x>xmaxTc/Tc,max=1−γ⋅p2(***), an analogue of the formula (*), and that superconductivity is possible not only by electron-Cooper pairs but also by paired holes. The mechanisms described here for HTSC suggest an analogy to the physics of semiconductors and that of nanocomposites: Electron-hole duality. The “P=1/8” anomaly in YBa2Cu3O6+x is caused by the simultaneous presence of electrons and holes, a consequence of incomplete electron transfer.The increase of the critical temperature Tc for superconductivity in Al1−x(SiO2)x cermets with increasing x correlates with a decrease of the electron density n due to electron transfer, expressed by Tc/Tc,max=1−γ⋅n2(*).
