The influence of anharmonic phonons on the isotope effect in high- Tc oxides

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

Anharmonic phonons are examined to study the unusual isotope effect exponents for the high-{Tc} oxides. Within a simple model of anharmonicity, the mass dependences of the electron-phonon coupling constant {lambda} and the phonon frequency determine the isotope effect exponent {alpha} as a function of coupling strength. A model in which the outer wells of a multiple-well potential deepen as the orthorhombic/low temperature tetragonal phase transition in La{sub 2-x}M{sub x}CuO{sub 4} is approached is consistent with some experimentally observed variations in {Tc} and {alpha}. 10 refs.
