Previously we showed the major effect of electron correlation in the cuprate superconductors is to lower the energy of the Cu d_x^2-y^2/O p_sigma (x^2-y^2) band with respect to the Cu d_z^2/O' p_z (z^2) band. In our 2D Hubbard model for…
The origin of high-temperature superconductivity in cuprates is still an unresolved issue. Among the most likely candidates for mediating the Cooper pair condensate are spin fluctuations and the electron-phonon interaction. While the former…
