The electron-phonon and spin-phonon coupling in typical high-T_C cuprates, like LSCO and HBCO are peaked for just a few q-vectors because of the 2-dimensional Fermi surface shape. The activation of few spin-phonon modes compensates for the…
The (Ca_xLa_(1-x))(Ba_(1.75-x)La_(0.25+x))Cu_(3)O_(y) system is ideal for testing theories of high temperature superconductivity, since nearly the full range of doping is controlled by y, and T_(c)^max is continuously controlled by x, with…
