Abstract
The historical discovery of high-temperature superconductivity by Bednorz and Müller was led by the idea of strong electron-phonon coupling in the cuprate oxides associated with Jahn-Teller distortion. Nevertheless, the majority in the field quickly converged to the view that it is a purely electronic phenomenon involving only spins and lowering of the kinetic energy, and the lattice and phonons play little or no role in the mechanism. After two decades this majority view is now seriously challenged by experimental observations of strong electron-phonon coupling and nano-scale electronic inhomogeneity. The transition metal oxides are characterized by strong competition among multiple degrees of freedom; spin, charge, orbital and lattice. It is more natural to conjecture that the high-temperature superconductivity is a synergetic phenomenon with many degrees of freedom, including phonons. We discuss the possible role the phonons may play in the synergy of multiple degrees of freedom to produce the high-temperature superconductivity.
