Abstract

The relevance of the lattice-mediated superconducting pairing in a system of quasilocalized polarons dressed by local lattice deformations is considered. The spin correlations are taken into account using thet-J model expressed in terms of holon and spin operators. The Holstein-like Hamiltonian for holons with the transport term depending on spin correlations is transformed by the generalized Lang-Firsov transformation which implies the spread of the charge and the deformations to the nearest neighbours. The analytical formula for the superconducting transition temperatureT c is deduced using the assumption of an extremely narrow polaron band. The hole-concentration dependence ofT c and the isotope exponent are discussed using the classical approximation for incommensurate spiral spin correlations.
