Abstract

We review the theoretical model underpinning the recently reported room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductivity along line defects on the surface of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. The main ingredients for this 1D room-temperature superconductivity are pairing by effective strain gauge fields, the formation of an effective Josephson junction array in its Bose metal state on the surface and the suppression of phase slips by dimensional embedding in an extremely well-conducting 3D bulk structure.
