As. Alexandrov et Nf. Mott, SPIN AND CHARGE BIPOLARON KINETICS OF HIGH-T(C) SUPERCONDUCTORS, International journal of modern physics b, 8(16), 1994, pp. 2075-2109
We extend the BSC theory to the strong electron-phonon (magnon) coupli
ng limit. We show that the formation of small polarons and bipolarons
provides a number of new physical phenomena both in the normal and sup
erconducting states and explains low-energy physics of high-T(c) super
conductors. Both lattice and spin (bi)polarons are discussed. A highly
nonadiabatic motion of bipolarons leads to a unique physical nature o
f (bi)polaronic superconductivity, making it totally different from th
at of the BCS one, including its wellknown strong-coupling generalizat
ion. The maximum attainable T(c) is estimated to be in the region of t
he transition from the Fermi-liquid to a charged Bose-liquid. Some evi
dence for 2e bosons is given from NMR, neutron scattering, near-infrar
ed absorption, Hall effect, resistivity, thermal conductivity, and cri
tical magnetic fields of high-T(c) oxides. An infinite thermal conduct
ivity of two-dimensional charged bosons is predicted below T(c). The i
nsulator-metal transition and ARPES in copper oxides are also discusse
d. The proposed theory is not restricted by low dimensionality and mig
ht be applied to cubic oxides like BaPbBiO and to alkali-doped C60.
