Local Electron-Lattice Interactions in High-Temperature Cuprate Superconductors

Recent experimental observations of unconventional isotope effects, multiband superconductivity, and unusual local lattice responses are reviewed and shown to be naturally explained within a two-component scenario where local polaronic effects are important. It is concluded that purely electronic me...
