Shakes or Spins or Both?Are They Copacetic, Competitive…or…
…just another Conundrum?
What formalism is the HTSC analogy to Migdal-Eliashberg-McMillan?
• Original Strong Coupling, Eliashberg (JETP, 1960), McMillan (PR, 1968)
• Generalized Linhard Response Function (RPA + fluctuations) Hu and O’Connell (PRB 1989)
• Dielectric Response Function Kirznits, Maximov, Khomskii (JLTP 1972)
(In other words, how do I calculate the value of the BCS gap?)

Conclusions
• Phonons can yield “credible” values of Tc in the cuprates
• Holes are better than electrons
• Can’t account for higher Tc’s in “1-2-3 +” layered compounds (Yet...but stay tuned!)
Computers and the Study of Proxy Structures may finally resolve the mystery of High-Tc...a Future NP for
