Generalized Bose-gas condensation model for Tc in multi-dimensional superconductivity

  • 1. Electric Power Research Inst., Palo Alto, CA (USA)

Description

Strong quantum interaction in a Bose-Einstein gas is sufficient to derive reasonable estimates of Tc, the energy gap, and the coherence length for all classes of superconductors such as the ceramic oxides, the metallics, heavy-Fermion metals, metallic hydrogen, and neutron stars for 3-dimensional, quasi-2 and quasi- 1 dimensional states. For the ceramic oxides this yields 10K, 40K , and 300K in 3, Q2 and A1 dimensions, Interpreting the ceramic oxide case as one in which the interchain interactions are equal to the intrachain interactions, lease to Tc = (tc1 Tc21/2 = (300K x 40K)1/2 = 110K as the approximate transition temperature for these materials when there is clearly a combined linear and planar structure. It is noted that without specifying a coupling mechanism or coupling strength, this general model does well in calculating coherence lengths, transition, temperature, and coupling strengths over nine orders of magnitude (1K to 109K and meV to MeV) from the heavy Fermion metals to neutron star
