New model for superconductivity

In summary, there is a new theory on superconductivity that proposes a standing wave model for understanding and designing superconductors. However, the theory has not been published and has received no citations, leading some to believe it may not hold much validity. Additionally, there is another paper discussing the premise of the theory, but it also lacks citations and has not been published. As a result, many in the community have dismissed the theory without further investigation.

A general question for those who may have background in superconductivity. Curious to know if the following theory has any legs

Unpublished and zero cites? Not promising.

It's title makes me very intrigued as it's counterintuitive. Is this an idea that is even realizable?

That's a different paper.

The premise of the new theory is described in the published paper, where it is described that a 'standing wave model provides a new direction for the understanding of superconductivity and for the design of new superconductors.' No citations to it though, so not sure if there's any validity.

The community has already passed judgment on it by a lack of citations of citations of either paper and the lack of publication of one of the two. It is not worth my time to see if there are any nuggets of gold in them.
 

1. What is the new model for superconductivity?

The new model for superconductivity is a theoretical framework that explains the phenomenon of superconductivity, which is the ability of certain materials to conduct electricity with zero resistance at very low temperatures.

2. How does the new model differ from previous models of superconductivity?

The new model differs from previous models in that it takes into account the role of electron-phonon interactions, which were previously thought to be negligible in superconductivity. This new model suggests that these interactions play a significant role in the formation of superconducting pairs of electrons.

3. What evidence supports the new model for superconductivity?

There have been several experimental studies that have provided evidence for the new model of superconductivity. These studies have shown that the electron-phonon interactions have a strong influence on the superconducting properties of materials, and have provided a better understanding of the mechanisms behind superconductivity.

4. What practical applications could result from the new model of superconductivity?

The new model of superconductivity has the potential to lead to the development of more efficient and powerful superconducting materials. This could have a wide range of practical applications, such as in the development of faster and more efficient electronics, magnetic levitation technology, and high-speed transportation systems.

5. Are there any limitations or challenges to the new model of superconductivity?

Like any scientific theory, the new model of superconductivity is not without its limitations and challenges. Some researchers have questioned the validity of the model and have suggested alternative explanations for superconductivity. Additionally, there is still much to be understood about the complex interactions between electrons and phonons in superconducting materials.
