Abstract

A prior theory for high-temperature superconductivity (HTSC) was given based on substances having nuclei of nonzero nuclear magnetic moments (NMM) for strong relativistic reversible, nonclassical scattering of superconducting Cooper pairs beyond 40 K limit for recovery of coupling due to nonzero NMM of atoms in heat bath. Type II and type I superconductors were reasoned to involve relativistic, quantal, fractionally fissing, and fusing nuclei of both positive and negative NMM for more effectively transforming thermal energy to gravitational, magnetic, and quantum energies for effecting superconductivity and superfluidity. On the basis of such model, all high-temperature superconductivity was explained and the critical temperature (Tc), and its variation by elemental and isotopic compositions were reasoned. This prior 2005 theory and model is supported by recent 2018 observations of superconductivity in silver nanoparticles of all negative NMM in gold nano-matrix of all positive NMM. New superconductors of elements and compounds are predicted on basis of enriching isotopes of positive and negative NMM in such substances.
