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Unpublished and zero cites?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.
 
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...
