Electronic correlations, electron-phonon interaction, and isotope effect in high-Tc cuprates

Superconductivity 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

Using a large-N expansion we present and solve the linearized equation for the superconducting gap for a generalized t-J model which also contains phonons within a Holstein model. The leading Tc has d-wave symmetry with phonons giving a positive contribution to Tc. The corresponding isotope coefficient is very small at optimal doping and increases towards the classical value 1/2 with increasing dopings similar as in many cuprates.
