Danijel Djurek
TL;DR
This paper investigates a composite of Ag5Pb2O6 particles in a CuO-Cu2O matrix, proposing an exciton-polariton mechanism on grain surfaces as a possible explanation for observed high-temperature superconductivity.
Contribution
It introduces a new composite material and discusses a novel exciton-polariton mechanism as a potential cause of superconductivity at relatively high temperatures.
Findings
Enhanced electrical conductivity with CuO-Cu2O substitution
Superconductivity observed at 86-375 K
Proposed exciton-polariton mechanism on grain surfaces
Abstract
Composite material was prepared from Bystr\"om-Evers metallic particles Ag5Pb2O6 dispersed in a semiconducting matrix CuO-Cu2O. Partial substitution of CuO by Cu2O increases electric conductivity at 673 K for 2-3 orders of magnitude above Landauer conductivity e2/ha indicated by pure CuO matrix. Onset of superconductivity at 86-375 K presented in this and previous works is discussed in the framework of the exciton-polariton mechanism occurring on the grain surfaces.
