On a mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity: Spin-electron acoustic wave as a mechanism for the Cooper pair formation

Abstract

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, such as ferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic, and antiferromagnetic materials. The spin-electron 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.
