New Theory of Superconductivity

Abstract

A General Theory of Superconductivity with points of view differing from those of the BCS Theory is presented in two parts. In the first part, a general equation for the superconductivity is obtained; based on the stable pairing of two electrons bound by a phonon for any type of superconductor material. This equation comes from a self consistent field calculation with a screening which is temperature dependent; showing that the total energy of the electron pair is constant and the local energy of the paired electrons is equal to that of the phonon in the range 0 K to critical temperature. A specific condition for the existence of the superconducting state is established allowing the prediction of the critical temperature. In the second part, the general equation is applied to low critical temperature superconductors where new results, in good agreement with experimental data, are calculated.
