Abstract

It is shown that a correlation between the positions of the c-axis longitudinal optic (LOc) phonons and ‘‘notch’’-like structures in the ab-plane conductivity of high-Tc superconductors results from phonon-mediated interaction between electrons in different layers. It is found that the relative size of the notches depends on λph(Ωph/γph), where λph, Ωph, and γph are the effective coupling strength, the frequency, and the width of the optical phonon which is responsible for the notch. Even for λph≊0.01 the effect can be large if the phonon is very sharp. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
