The way from high to room temperature superconductivity

Abstract

Presently, the main method of producing new high-temperature superconductors is chemical when record temperatures of the superconducting transition $T_c$ are reached due to changes in the chemical structure of a superconductor. This paper deals with a possibility to reach room temperatures of $T_c$ in already available high-temperature superconducting materials by physical methods. It is shown that a superconducting phase corresponds to a Bose condensate moving in a thin subsurface layer and a motionless condensate in volume. We discuss a possibility to set in motion a motionless Bose condensate and enhance the temperature of superconducting transition.
