Origin and roles of a strong electron-phonon interaction in cuprate oxide superconductors
Fusayoshi J. Ohkawa
Abstract
A strong electron-phonon interaction arises from the modulation of the superexchange interaction by phonons. As is studied in Phys. Rev. B 70, 184514 (2004), Cu-O bond stretching modes can be soft around (pm pi/a, 0) and (0, pm pi/a), with a the lattice constant of CuO2 planes. In the critical region of SDW, where antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations are developed around nesting wave numbers Q of the Fermi surface, the stretching modes can also be soft around 2Q. Almost symmetric energy dependences of the 2Q component of the density of states, which are observed in the so called stripe and checker-board states, cannot be explained by CDW with 2Q following the complete softening of the 2Q modes, but they can be explained by a second-harmonic effect of SDW with Q. The strong electron-phonon interaction can play no or only a minor role in the occurrence of superconductivity.
