Raman scattering in high temperature superconductors : An integrated view

Abstract

The common features in the Raman data of high temperature superconductors: (the cuprates, bismathates, alkali doped fullerides and some organic superconductors), are analyzed. It was shown that qualitative understanding of the data can be achieved in terms of non-Fermi liquid models for their normal state, with appropiate bag mechanisms for the superconducting state.Comment: To appear in Physica B (1996).
