A considerable enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature Tc in perovskite-type oxides is explained in the framework of the anharmonic model for superconductors with structurally unstable lattices. It is shown that the interaction of electrons with highly anharmonic oxygen-ion vibrations of a rotational type results in a sufficiently large coupling constant λ. The obtained estimation for Tc is in agreement with experimental data for La(Y)BaCuO systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
