Phonon and Magnetic Pairing Mechanisms in High-Temperature Superconductors in the Strong Correlation Mode

Abstract

The t-t'-t''-J model of electrons interacting with three phonon modes (breathing, apical breathing, and buckling) is considered. The wave-vector dependence of the matrix elements of the electron-phonon interaction leads to opposite contributions to the pairing potential with the d-symmetry: the buckling mode facilitates electron pairing, while the breathing mode suppresses it. As a result, the critical temperature of La2 - xSrxCuO4 that is associated with the magnetic mechanism is lowered when phonons are taken into account.
