The relationship of phonon anomalies and lattice instabilities to high Tc superconductivity is explored. Inelastic neutron scattering studies have revealed an intimate and dramatic relation between certain phonons and lattice transformations, real or incipient, for moderate to high Tc superconductors, which are minimal or nonexistent in very low Tc or nonsuperconductors. Experimentalevidence is presented for a wide variety of superconducting materials and possible theoretical explanations for their behaviour are discussed.

The inelastic neutron scattering on highly anharmonic vibrations of oxygen ions in high-T c superconductors is studied in the framework of a pseudo-spin model. By evaluating the coherent and incoherent cross-sections, it is found that the scattering intensity exhibits an anomalous temperature dependence.

Assuming the exchange of antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations as the Cooper pairing mechanism we calculate the doping dependence of the resonance peak seen in inelastic neutron scattering and the magnetic coherence effect. We find that the resonance peak in the magnetic susceptibility, Im χ(q,ω), appears only in the superconducting state at ωres and that it scales with Tc. Magnetic coherence is a result of an interplay between a d-wave order parameter and the kinematic gap ω0. We analyze the structure of Im χ below Tc, the doping dependence of ω0 and ωres, and the consequences for the optical conductivity.
