Enhanced Electron-Phonon Coupling and its Irrelevance to High T${}_c$ Superconductivity

T. P. Devereaux, A. Virosztek, A. Zawadowski +10

It is argued that the origin of the buckling of the CuO${}_2$ planes in certain cuprates as well as the strong electron-phonon coupling of the $B_{1g}$ phonon is due to the electri…
