Abstract

Starting from the three-band pdp-d Hubbard Hamiltonian we derive an effective tJt-J model including electron-phonon interaction of quasiparticles with optical phonons. Within the effective Hamiltonian we analyze the influence of electronic correlations and electron-phonon interaction on the dynamical spin susceptibility in layered cuprates. We find a huge isotope effect on the resonance peak in the magnetic spin susceptibility, Imχ(q,ω){Im}\chi({\bf q},\omega), seen by inelastic neutron scattering. It results from both the electron-phonon coupling and the electronic correlation effects taken into account beyond random phase approximation(RPA) scheme. We find at optimal doping the isotope coeffiecient αres0.35\alpha_{res} \approx 0.35 which can be further tested experimentally.
