The phonon contribution to the phenomenon of high temperature superconductivity in the cuprates is argued as being masked as polarons generated by the polarization of the charge reservoir accompanying the Jahn-Teller tilting of the apical oxygen. We discuss the Mahan oscillator-spring extension model as an analogy to the charge reservoir-CuO plane c-axis polarons. Using the Boltzmann kinetic equation, we show that the polaron dissociates or collapses at a temperature corresponding to the critical temperature of the superconductor.

The pseudogap structure in low energy excitation in cuprates appears below a temperature and the spectral density exhibits strong wave-vector dependence. An electronic model that emphasized the coupling of carrier in Cu-O with phonon is examined for pseudogap. The electron–phonon interaction originates from the modulation of on-site and hopping energy and leads to spontaneous Jahn–Teller-like distortion and pseudogap below a critical temperature. At low temperature the spectral density has two-peak structure about the Fermi level for all k along Γ-M whereas such structure exists along Γ-X for small k only. The magnitude of pseudogap shows strong k-dependence — maximum along Γ-M and vanishes along Γ-X. These features emphasize the role of electron–phonon interaction in formation of pseudogap.

Recent discoveries of novel electronic states, including relatively high-temperature superconductivity, in the actinides point to exciting prospects for future discoveries at the bottom of the periodic table. A key ingredient in all of the successes discussed here is the role of high-quality synthesis in enabling advances. Results on PuCoGa51, NpPd5Al2, and single crystal uranium are discussed.
