失败的超导理论
Failed theories of superconductivity
摘要:
从Kamerlingh Onnes发现超导性到Barthel、Cooper和Schrieffer对这一现象做出理论解释,几乎经过了半个世纪。在此期间,理论物理学中最聪明的头脑试图对这种效应进行微观理解,但都失败了。对一些不成功的理解超导性的尝试的总结不仅展示了通过制定BCS理论所取得的非凡成就,而且还说明了错误是科学话语的自然和健康的一部分,并且不适用的,甚至不正确的理论可以变得有趣和鼓舞人心。
英文摘要:
Almost half a century passed between the discovery of superconductivity by Kamerlingh Onnes and the theoretical explanation of the phenomenon by Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer. During the intervening years the brightest minds in theoretical physics tried and failed to develop a microscopic understanding of the effect. A summary of some of those unsuccessful attempts to understand superconductivity not only demonstrates the extraordinary achievement made by formulating the BCS theory, but also illustrates that mistakes are a natural and healthy part of the scientific discourse, and that inapplicable, even incorrect theories can turn out to be interesting and inspiring.
