Abstract

The electron-phonon and spin-phonon coupling in typical high- T C cuprates are peaked for just a few q-vectors because of the two-dimensional Fermi surface shape. Few spin-phonon excitations compensate for the low electronic density-of-states, and the superconducting T C can be high. Thermal disorder of the lattice makes incoherent potential fluctuations which perturbs the strongly coupled waves. This effect puts a limit on long-range superconductivity, while fluctuations can persist on a shorter length scale at higher temperatures. BCS-type model calculations are used to show how disorder can reduce the superconducting gap and T C. Ordering of dopants into stripes can improve superconducting properties, mainly through an increased DOS, and make T C more resistant to thermal disorder at low doping.
