Abstract
We consider a low-density electron-gas (rs 1016) imbedded in a highly dispersive medium (EO/E 10). We find that the Fermi velocity is greatly enhanced over the single-particle value. This enhancement occurs only very close to the Fermi surface, within an energy range smaller than wc, the characteristic frequency of the dispersion. This theory applies to high-Ta cuprates, as well as to several other systems. It accounts for the highly-Anomalous transport properties in the normal state. We believe that it also accounts for the high value of T, based on the standard phonon-mediated interaction BCS theory. There exist some experimental indications for a greatly-enhanced Fermi velocity in YBa2Cu3O7.
