Abstract
Anisotropic electrical resistivity under high pressure was measured for a single crystal of Sr2.5Ca11.5-Cu24O41, a hole-doped two-leg ladder compound. Superconductivity was observed between 3.5 and 8 GPa, accompanied by metallic resistivity between the ladders, which indicates semiconducting behavior at ambient pressure. This in turn strongly suggests that the application of pressure brings about a dimensional crossover from one to two, and that superconductivity in this system is a consequence of an insulator to superconductor transition in the anisotropic two-dimensional system.
