We report experimental results showing the pressure dependence of the superconducting transition temperature, T, near to optimal doping that sheds light on the nature of this interaction. We find that T increases dramatically when the energy gap of the ferroelectric critical modes is suppressed, i.

The system is known to be an antiferromagnet below T(N) ≈ 15 K in the absence of external magnetic fields. We find that there is a gradual reduction of T(N) with the application of a magnetic field with an extrapolated value of the critical field of around 18 kOe which can drive T(N) to zero.
