Am. Shamsuzzaman et al., Doping dependence of isotope exponent in YBa2Cu3O6+x (x=0.4-1.0) within Van Hove scenario, I J PA PHYS, 37(2), 1999, pp. 133-135
Isotope exponent alpha of YBa2Cu3O6+x has been analysed with oxygen content
(x=0.4-1.0) by using exact expressions for isotope shift exponent for a el
ectronic density of states (EDOS) in the Van I-love singularity scenario (V
HS). The result;reproduces the general experimental trend of alpha as a fun
ction of x. The theoretical value of alpha at optimum doping has been found
lesser than that obtained by other workers, though the experimental value
is still smaller.
