Giant Electron-Phonon Anomaly in Doped La2CuO4 and Other Cuprates

Since conventional superconductivity is mediated by phonons, their role in the mechanism of high temperature superconductivity has been considered very early after the discovery of the cuprates. The initial consensus was that phonons could not produce transition temperatures near 100 K, and the main...
