We propose that a Cooper pair in a high-$T_c$ superconductor might be in fact a bound system $\rm eex\bar x$ of two electrons, a particle $\rm x$ and its antiparticle. We assume $\rm eex\bar x$ is more massive than two free electrons. We…

Superconductivity and magnetism are usually the conflicting (competing) phenomena. We show, however, that in nanoscopic objects the electron pairing may promote the magnetic ordering. Such situation is possible at low temperatures in the…
