Lattice Effects in Superconducting Cuprates

Abstract

It is widely accepted that the remarkable properties of complex transition-metal oxides, such as colossal magnetoresistivity, are consequences of collaborative behaviors of many degrees of freedom, namely spin, charge, orbital moment and lattice. In stark contrast, most of the theories on the mechanism of the high-temperature superconductivity focus only on the spin degree of freedom. We suggest that the complex behaviors of the cuprates, including the electronic phase separation, involve charge as well as lattice degrees of freedom, and the interplay of the lattice and spin may be centrally important to the superconductivity of the cuprates. We speculate that an intermediate phase may appear when the Mott–Hubbard insulator is doped, and may support the two-component superconductivity involving spins and phonons.
