I argue that the validity of the new electrodynamic equations for superconductors proposed in my paper can and should be decided by experiment. Furthermore I show that BCS theory is ambiguous in its prediction of screening of longitudinal…
The relativistic generalization of the theory of superconductivity is reviewed with respect to its conceptual basis and first applications. The construction of relativistically covariant order parameters for superconductors is outlined and…
Both in electroweak theory and QCD, the vacuum in strong magnetic fields develops charged vector condensates once a critical value of the magnetic field is reached. Both ground states have a similar Abrikosov lattice structure and…
We discuss an effect of the electrostatic field on superconductivity near the surface. First, we use the microscopic theory of de Gennes to show that the electric field changes the boundary condition for the Ginzburg-Landau function.…
The interaction of the ionic lattice with the superconducting condensate is treated in terms of the electrostatic force in superconductors. It is shown that this force is similar but not identical to the force suggested by the volume…
Attempts to explain correlated-electron superconductivity have largely focused on the proximity of the superconducting state to antiferromagnetism. Yet, there exist many correlated-electron systems that exhibit insulator-superconducting…
The BCS results for the superconducting gap $\Delta$ and $T_C$ are obtained from a one-particle model. Superconductivity appears when the electronic energy gains of the band structure surpass the energy needed for atomic vibrations or…
We consider effects of an externally applied electrostatic field on superconductivity, self-consistently within a BCS mean field model, for a clean 3D metal thin film. The electrostatic change in superconducting condensation energy scales…
A General Theory of Superconductivity with points of view differing from those of the BCS Theory is presented in two parts. In the first part, a general equation for the superconductivity is obtained; based on the stable pairing of two…
Dynamical equations that are valid in the vicinity of the phase transition into the superconducting state are given. Probable effects of the field of charge carriers' magnetic interactions and the field of temperature fluctuations were…
Recently an N=1 supersymmetric model of BCS superconductivity was proposed realizing spontaneous symmetry breaking of a U(1)_R symmetry. Due to scalar contributions the superconducting phase transition turned out to be first order rather…
Motivated by recent experiments reporting the suppression of the critical current in superconducting Dayem bridges by the application of strong electrostatic fields, in this work we study the impact on the superconducting gap of charge…
Magnetic instability in gapless superconductors still remains as a puzzle. In this article, we point out that the instability might be caused by using BCS theory in mean-field approximation, where the phase fluctuation has been neglected.…
Borocarbide compounds with the formula RNi2B2C show interesting superconducting and magnetic properties and the coexistence of the two phenomena. BCS theory is extended to systems with underlying commensurate magnetic order. In the case of…
The influence of a magnetic field on superconductivity is usually described either phenomenologically, using Ginzburg-Landau theory, or semiclassically using Gor'kov theory. In this article we discuss the influence of magnetic fields on the…
We give a brief review of superconductivity at ambient pressure in elements, alloys, and simple three-dimensional compounds. Historically these were the first superconducting materials studied, and based on the experimental knowledge gained…
The superconductivity of quasi-one-dimensional electrons in the magnetic field is studied. The system is described as the one-dimensional electrons with no frustration due to the magnetic field. The interaction is assumed to be attractive…
It is generally accepted that vortex core is charged, what illustrates that even in stationary superconductors electric field may be present. Vortex structure and other properties of superconductors are usually calculated in the framework…
The BCS theory of superconductivity is extended to recognize pairing of electrons by both normal and umklapp scattering. Application of the variational approach shows that coexistence of normal and umklapp scattering frustrates…
Lecture notes used as part of a graduate-level Introduction to Solid State Physics course at Cornell University. I attempt to unify and update the discussion of magnetism and superconductivity relative to standard textbook treatments, and…
