In this paper, we argue that the high-temperature superconductors do not belong to strong correlated electron systems. It is shown that both the two-dimensional Hubbard and t-J models are inadequate for describing high temperature…
In cuprate superconductors, a pronounced maximum of superconducting Tc is observed in compounds that have an in-plane Cu-O distance close to ~1.92 Angstroms. On the other hand, direct measurements of the electron-phonon coupling lambda as a…
