Oxygen Isotope Effect in the High Temperature Superconductors YBa2Cu3O7−δ and La1.85Sr0.15CuO4, with 18O Substituted by Diffusion
Abstract One of the most suggestive tests for electron-phonon coupling in conventional superconductors is the isotope effect, where Tc is sensitive to ionic mass: Tc ∝ M−α. The presence of an isotope shift would demonstrate an important role played by the phonons in the superconductivity mechanism. The high-Tc superconducting oxide La1.85Sr0.15CuO4 and YBa2Cu3O7−δ have many structural1 and electronic2 features in common. An important feature common to both the layered perovskite K2NiF4 structure of La2−xMxCuO4 (M = Ba, Sr, or Ca) and the distorted oxygen-defect pervoskite structure of RBa2Cu3O7−δ (R = Y or some lanthanide rare-earth elements) is the existence of two-dimensional copper-oxygen planes which are most responsible for the metallic conduction.
