While the macroscopic phenomenon of superconductivity is well known
and in practical use worldwide, the current theoretical paradigm
for superconductivity suffers from a number of limitations. For
example, there is no currently accepted theoretical explanation for
the pattern of superconductor critical temperatures in the periodic
table. Historical developments in condensed matter were strongly
focused on the similarities of all metals and the electron gas
model, with little attention paid to their real differences.
Accessible by a wide audience, Superconductivity Revisited explores
the work of those who investigated the differences, and laid the
foundation for all current and future work. Topics Include Pattern
of Elemental Superconductors in the Periodic Table High-Temperature
Superconductors Electron Spin in Superconductors Heat Capacity and
Magnetic Susceptibility in Superconductors Quantum Foundations of
Molecular Electricity and Magnetism Metals and Insulators Electron
Transport in Metals Magnetoresistance Quantum Hall Effect Type I
and Type II Superconductivity Superconductivity Revisited starts
from the foundations and shows that the current theory of the
subject cannot explain the pattern of superconductors in the
periodic table, as the theory depends on a theory of resistivity
not congruent with the Sommerfeld equation. Partial wave scattering
is introduced as a route to deal with these issues. The book
develops a theory of superconductivity that includes the periodic
table. The new, coherent, understandable theory of
superconductivity is directly based on thermodynamics, scattering
theory, and molecular quantum mechanics.
