Abstract
I summarize in this paper our previous works on the spin polaron theory as a mechanism for high temperature superconductivity in the finite temperature (Matsubara) Green’s function method. In this formulation, some bulk thermodynamic properties of high-Tc materials like entropy and specific heat are treated. The hole spectral function is likewise derived. Single-particle tunneling current is calculated for normal metal-superconductor and superconductor-superconductor junctions. With an effective Hamiltonian derived from this theory, the Josephson tunneling current between two high temperature superconductors is obtained. Current problems like mobility of holes, calculation of energy gap function, the triplet pairing mechanism, among others, are also discussed in this paper, all using the spin polaron formulation.
