Superconductivity and Superfluidity

TL;DR

This paper proposes a unified model explaining superconductivity and superfluidity through the ordering of zero-point oscillations, providing estimates for critical parameters that align with experimental data.

Contribution

It introduces a novel zero-point oscillation ordering mechanism that unifies the explanation of superconductivity and superfluidity, differing from traditional pairing theories.

Findings

Superconductivity arises from zero-point oscillation ordering

Superfluidity in helium isotopes explained similarly

Abstract

Currently there is a common belief that the explanation of superconductivity phenomenon lies in understanding the mechanism of the formation of electron pairs. Paired electrons, however, cannot form a superconducting condensate spontaneously. These paired electrons perform disorderly zero-point oscillations and there are no force of attraction in their ensemble. In order to create a unified ensemble of particles, the pairs must order their zero-point fluctuations so that an attraction between the particles appears. As a result of this ordering of zero-point oscillations in the electron gas, superconductivity arises. This model of condensation of zero-point oscillations creates the possibility of being able to obtain estimates for the critical parameters of elementary superconductors, which are in satisfactory agreement with the measured data. On the another hand, the phenomenon of superfluidity in He-4 and He-3 can be similarly explained, due to the ordering of zero-point fluctuations. It is therefore established that both related phenomena are based on the same physical mechanism.
