Abstract
The potential problem of anharmonic lattice vibrations in high-temperature superconductors (HTS) using the most suitable Born–Mayer–Huggins (BMH) potential has been taken up to investigate the renormalized phonon density of states (RPDOS). In order to develop the suitable results, the many body theory using quantum dynamical approach of Green’s function (GF) via an almost complete Hamiltonian (without using BCS type Hamiltonian) has been incorporated which includes harmonic electron and phonon Hamiltonian, electron–phonon interaction Hamiltonian, anharmonic and defect Hamiltonian. The derivation of anharmonic phonon GF for modified form of BMH potential enables to evaluate the renormalized and perturbed mode phonon frequencies of solids. The expressions obtained for the RPDOS can be resolved into diagonal and nondiagonal parts of which the nondiagonal part chiefly depends on impurities and disappears in pure crystals. A large number of new features are investigated in the light of this formulation followed by the numerical analysis for the energy spectrum of representative cuprate HTS YBa2Cu3O[Formula: see text]. The inclusion of defects, anharmonicities and electron–phonon interactions in the cuprate superconductors substantially modifies the scenario of RPDOS and reveals a large number of unexplained peaks in the spectrum.
