The primary mechanism governing the emergence of near-room-temperature superconductivity in superhydrides is widely accepted to be the electron-phonon interaction. If so, the temperature dependent resistance, R(T), in these materials should…
Hydrogen has been the subject of intense research following the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in hydrides, and as a result of continuous efforts to produce solid hydrogen. The Born-Oppenheimer approximation is the central…
It is known that noble metals such as gold, silver and copper are not supercon- 1 ductors, so as magnesium. This is due to the weakness of the electron-phonon interaction 2 which makes them excellent conductors but not superconductors. As…
The general character of 4-quark (mesonic) and strange 6-quark (baryonic) quark systems is very briefly reviewed a la Jaffe, i.e. in the MIT bag, and so far still possibly viable candidates are indicated. Concentration is on S=-2 systems.…
