Covalon Conduction Theory

I shall not elaborate on the triviality of this explanation but only to ask one question to the author who wrote this article (since the referee forgot to ask). If the BCS theory was correct, why then Sc, and Y, metallic elements which all have only one isotope and also have a high N(e)r (electron density of states at the Fermi level), the requirement imposed for a high Tc by the BCS theory, are not superconductors Of course, they can explain somehow. But, in the Covalon conduction theory there is no need for an explanation or no elaborate mathematical equation necessary. It can be easily understood in terms of their atomic orbital. The answer in Covalon conduction theory is simply that both elements are III-A elements in the periodic chart and their atomic orbital are not conducive in forming conjugated covalent bonds, therefore there is no Covalon conduction to lead them to superconductivity. [Pg.85]

It is of interest to note that a definite trend exists in the correlation curve that elements with N=1 possess a higher Tc in general than elements with N=2, which in turn possess a higher Tc than elements with N=3 and so forth as is anticipated from the Covalon conduction theory. Furthermore, through the virtue of such a correlation,... [Pg.85]

The correlation agreement obtained here renders further support to the proposed Covalon conduction theory and leads to a further prediction that for a given element with N > 1, the Tc for that element will become higher if the number N is reduced to N = 1 (isotopically pure) through an isotope separation process. Conversely, if Nb and La with N = 1 are doped with relatively long half-life isotopes, their Tc should go down. These experiments have not been carried out yet by anyone as of this writing. [Pg.86]

Earlier, I criticized the Cooper pair being philosophically unacceptable because the proposed pair is not seen elsewhere outside of the BCS superconductivity theory. The same measurement must be placed against the Covalon-Conduction theory proposed here. We shall show therefore, that a number of physical property changes observed in [TCNQ-TTF] (tetracyano-p-quinodimethane-tetrathiofulvalene), an organic compound, as a function of temperature can be interpreted and understood in terms of Covalon-conduction . [Pg.92]
