A "super-atom" conceptual interface between chemistry and physics is proposed in order to assist in the search for higher TC superconductors. High-TC superconductivity HTSC is articulated as the entanglement of two disjoint electronic manifolds in the vicinity of a common Fermi energy. The resulting HTSC ground state couples near-degenerate protected local "super-atom" states to virtual magnons in an antiferromagnetic AFM embedding. The composite Cooper pairs emerge as the interaction particles for virtual magnons mediated "self-coherent entanglement" of super-atom states. A Hückel type resonating valence bond RVB formalism is employed in order to illustrate the real-space Cooper pairs as well as their delocalization and Bose Einstein condensation BEC on a ring of super-atoms. The chemical potential μ(BEC) for Cooper pairs joining the condensate is formulated in terms of the super-exchange interaction, and consequently the TC in terms of the Neél temperature. A rationale for the robustness of the HTSC ground state is proposed: achieving local maximum "electron correlation entropy" at the expense of non-local phase rigidity.

The diamagnetism above the superconducting transition in underdoped La(1.9)Sr(0.1)CuO(4) revisited: Chemical disorder or phase incoherent superconductivity?
超导波动和不均匀性之间的相互作用提出了一个新的兴趣,由于最近的工作支持一个异常的[超越传统的高斯-金兹伯格-朗道(GGL)的情况下]抗磁性高于Tc在欠掺杂的铜酸盐。这一结论主要是基于低场等温磁化曲线中新异常的观察,与我们早期在欠掺杂La(1.9)Sr(0.1)CuO(4)[Phys. Rev. Lett. 84,3157(2000)]。这些看似内在的反常现象在各种有影响力的著作中被作为赝能隙区相位非相干超导性的“热力学证据”提出,这是目前铜酸盐超导体物理学的一个中心和有争议的问题。在这里,我们已经扩展了我们的磁化强度测量在La(1.9)Sr(0.1)CuO(4)的两个样品具有不同的化学无序,在其中一个接近与随机分布的Sr离子。对于该样品,相应的Tc分布可以近似为围绕平均Tc对称,而在最无序的样品中是强烈不对称的。在这两个样品中测量的磁化强度之间的比较提供了一个关键的检查所观察到的抗磁性异常,这是类似于那些声称由于相位波动由其他作者的化学无序起源。这一结论也适用于只受本征类化学无序影响的样品,提供了进一步的检查,即在正常状态下的赝能隙的打开不影响低掺杂铜酸盐的超导转变以上的本征抗磁性。它还表明,一旦这些障碍的影响被克服,剩余的前体抗磁性可以占在一个定量水平的GGL方法下的总能量截止。
