Abstract We have measured ρ c (T) for La 2−x Sr x CuO 4 (LSCO) with x=0.15 under anisotropic pressures. The c-axis compression, which decreases ρ c (T), reduces T c drastically, whereas the c-axis stretch, which increases ρ c (T), enhances T c from 38K at the ambient pressure to 51.6K at 8GPa. The T c = 51.6K is the highest record so far reported for LSCO. The variation of T c is well scaled with variations of ρ c . We deduce that the enhancement of T c in LSCO is mainly caused by the suppression of interlayer coupling, though two dimensionality is generally known as a destructive factor for conventional superconductivity.
