Abstract
The proposal of this article may be summarized simply. Specifically, ferroelectriclike materials (defined here as materials for which the ratio of the static and optical dielectric constants, e0/e∞, is exceptionally large, » 2) provide mediums within which individual electronic carriers can pair to form large bipolarons, bipolarons that extend over several atomic sites. Large bipolarons, like large polarons, are presumably mobile. As such, large bipolarons act as mobile charged bosons. As a result, in sufficient (yet moderate) densities large bipolarons can condense into a superconducting state. Thus, the unusual superconductivity of modest densities of charge carriers in ferroelectric-like materials, e.g., WO3, SrTiO3, BaBiO3 and CuO2-based materials, may be bipolaronic superconductivity.
