Strong-Coupling Theory of High Temperature Superconductivity | A.S. Alexandrov
; | Date: |
31 Aug 2005 | Subject: | Superconductivity; Strongly Correlated Electrons | cond-mat.supr-con cond-mat.str-el | Abstract: | High-temperature superconductivity (HTS) of cuprates represents a challenge to the conventional theory. Here I review a multi-polaron approach to the problem based on our extension of the BCS theory to the strong-coupling regime. Since there is almost no retardation (i.e. no Tolmachev-Morel-Anderson logarithm) reducing the Coulomb repulsion, e-ph interactions should be relatively strong to overcome the direct Coulomb repulsion, so carriers must be polaronic to form pairs in novel superconductors. I identify the Froehlich electron-phonon interaction as the most essential for pairing in superconducting cuprates, and discuss the "Froehlich-Coulomb" model of HTS, low-energy structures, and the phase diagram of cuprates. "Individual" versus Cooper pairing, normal state properties, in particular in-plane resistivity, the Hall effect, magnetic susceptibility, the Lorenz number, the Nernst effect, diamagnetism, spin and charge pseudogaps, and c-axis transport are also discussed. I present a parameter-free evaluation of Tc, an explanation of isotope effects, specific heat anomalies, upper critical fields, symmetries and space modulations of the order parameter. Finally I introduce a model of overdoped cuprates as mixtures of mobile bipolarons and degenerate lattice polarons. | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0508769 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
