Title Theory of High Temperature Superconductivity Author(s) Fujita, S;Godoy, S Publication Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2001. Description XIX, 374 p : online resource Abstract Note Flux quantization experiments indicate that the carriers, Cooper pairs (pairons), in the supercurrent have charge magnitude 2e, and that they move independently. Josephson interference in a Superconducting Quantum Int- ference Device (SQUID) shows that the centers of masses (CM) of pairons move as bosons with a linear dispersion relation. Based on this evidence we develop a theory of superconductivity in conventional and mate- als from a unified point of view. Following Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer (BCS) we regard the phonon exchange attraction as the cause of superc- ductivity. For cuprate superconductors, however, we take account of both optical- and acoustic-phonon exchange. BCS started with a Hamiltonian containing ???electron??? and ???hole??? kinetic energies and a pairing interaction with the phonon variables eliminated. These ???electrons??? and ???holes??? were introduced formally in terms of a free-electron model, which we consider unsatisfactory. We define ???electrons??? and ???holes??? in terms of the cur- tures of the Fermi surface. ???Electrons??? (1) and ???holes??? (2) are different and so they are assigned with different effective masses: Blatt, Schafroth and Butler proposed to explain superconductivity in terms of a Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) of electron pairs, each having mass M and a size. The system of free massive bosons, having a quadratic dispersion relation: and moving in three dimensions (3D) undergoes a BEC transition at where is the pair density ISBN,Price 9780306482168 Keyword(s) 1.
