Su- 0 perexchange is assumed to be the dominating mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity, 2 but the contribution from the phonon potential is not negligible, which qualitatively explains the observed weak isotopic effect. The calculated value 2∆max/kBTC ≃ 4.5 is close to the experiment r p in the case of optimum doping.

None of the proposed HTSC v mechanisms has been commonly accepted yet (see [1]). Unlike the case in normal low-temperature superconductors, 5 3 the energy gap in HTSC materials is different at different points of the Brillouin zone. This dependence is important, 7 for the understanding of the HTSC mechanism. 4 In [2,3] we found solutions of the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) equations taking copper spin superexchange 0 into consideration. This interaction was found t
