We have found the mechanism of the electron Cooper pair formation via the electron interaction by means of the spin-electron acoustic waves. This mechanism takes place in metals with rather high spin polarization, like ferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic and antiferromagnetic materials. The spinelectron acoustic wave mechanism leads to transition temperatures 100 times higher than the transition temperature allowed by the electron-phonon interaction. Therefore, spin-electron acoustic waves give the explanation for the high-temperature superconductivity. We find that the transition temperature has strong dependence on the electron concentration and the spin polarization of the electrons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
