The defecton mechanism may significantly contribute to high-temperature superconductivity.
High-pressure conditions enhance defecton effects in hydrides.
Abstract
We introduce below the concept of defecton, and describe briefly the electron polaron effect, the clustering of defectons, and also the defecton mechanism of superconductivity. It is shown that in the case of high-temperature superconducting metal hydrides, which acquire superconducting properties under pressure of hundreds of gigapascals, this mechanism can make a significant contribution to the Cooper pairing.
