A New model for superconductivity

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on a new theory of superconductivity based on a 'standing wave model' that claims to offer fresh insights into superconductors. However, the theory remains unpublished and has no citations, raising doubts about its validity and acceptance in the scientific community. Participants express skepticism regarding the theory's realizability and overall worth, given the lack of peer-reviewed support. The absence of citations suggests that the community has largely dismissed the idea. Overall, the theory's potential contributions to superconductivity remain unproven and largely overlooked.

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Unpublished and zero cites?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.
 

Thread 'Stability of persistent currents in superconductors regardless of temperature'

From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
