Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The aim of this book is to clarify the situation by adopting a very different approach from the above electronic/magnetic models, where explicitly local dynamical distortions are considered. These are distinctly different from conventional phonons which are a property of the infinite translational invariant symmetric lattice. The local dynamical distortions are shown to account for bulk properties and provide consistent and quantitative agreement with experimental data together with explicit predictions. Selected published experimental and theoretical papers are presented which support the above arguments, but have been ignored on purpose by the originators of the RVB/t-J bubble. To summarize the scope of this book, comprising nine chapters, it is shown, that the phenomenon of HTS in copper oxides is much better understood than publically claimed by RVB/t-J followers. Using the words of B. Laughlin, the presence of the antiferromagnetism in HTS masks the underlying physics where vibronic bipolarons with spin S=0 are the major players. Furthermore is it worth mentioning, that the newly discovered Fe based layered compounds are rather closely related to the copper oxides which near degenerate bands due to the vibronic coupling of the copper-oxygen units with Jahn-Teller character. Analogous to the latter the Fe based superconductors exhibit almost degenerate wave vector independent bands near the Fermi energy stemming from the tetrahedrally coordinated Jahn-Teller active two-valent iron ion.
