Abstract The tetragonal-orthorhombic structural phase transition of La2-x Sr x CuO4 is analyzed within an anharmonic electron-phonon interaction model. x-dependence as well as temperature T-dependence of the soft mode are calculated and in quantitative agreement with experimental data. To evaluate the importance of the soft mode for the superconducting properties Eliashberg equations are solved for this specific mode. The resulting electron-phonon coupling Λ is found to be strongly x and T dependent with characteristic anomalies around the structural transition temperature T s . The calculated x-dependent superconducting transition temperature T c follows closely the experimental values but underestimates T c . This discrepancy is attributed to the neglect of higher order electron-phonon interactions. Inclusion of these terms leads to a strong decrease of the isotope effect α from the BCS value of 0·5 to a varied value of 0·1.
