It is argued that the origin of the buckling of the CuO$_{2}$ planes in certain cuprates as well as the strong electron-phonon coupling of the $B_{1g}$ phonon is due to the electric field across the planes induced by atoms with different…
Heat capacity measurements on the recently discovered geometrically frustrated beta-pyrochlore superconductor RbOs2O6 (Tc=6.4 K) yield a Sommerfeld coefficient of 44 mJ/(molf.u. K^2). This is about 4 times larger than the one found in band…
