Implications for designing materials • To increase TC for magnetically mediated SC: Tsf, characteristic T for spin fluctuations high Tunable carrier density • Quasi 2-d helps a lot; maybe not much 2-d needed – increase c/a – tune CEF GS • Need bigger bandwidths to increase Tsf, but keep optimized Tc/Tsf - 3d spins in the active layer. 1-1-5 e 2-1-8 1-2-2 2-1-4, etc
