Interplay of Electron-Phonon Interaction and Electron Correlation in High Temperature Superconductivity

arXiv:cond-mat/0311200 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.69.144520

Abstract

We study the electron-phonon interaction in the strongly correlated superconducting cuprates. Two types of the electron-phonon interactions are introduced in the model; the diagonal and off-diagonal interactions which modify the formation energy of the Zhang-Rice singlet and its transfer integral, respectively. The characteristic phonon-momentum and electron-momentum dependence resulted from the off-diagonal coupling can explain a variety of experiments. The vertex correction for the electron-phonon interaction is formulated in the SU(2) slave-boson theory by taking into account the collective modes in the superconducting ground states. It is shown that the vertex correction enhances the attractive potential for the d-wave paring mediated by phonon with around which corresponds to the half-breathing mode of the oxygen motion.
