This document discusses a proposed mechanism for electron pairing and superconductivity in ionic crystals. It analyzes a one-dimensional ion lattice chain model and establishes a mechanism for electron pairing driven by lattice vibration modes. The analysis is extended to 3D ionic crystals, focusing on donor-acceptor systems. Electron pairing occurs between energy levels matched to the maximum vibration frequency ωM. Introducing an acceptor band can stabilize electron pairs across the acceptor and full bands, with a binding energy estimated to be at least hωM/(4π).
electron pairing and mechanism of superconductivity in ionic crystals Qiang LI
The behaviors of valence electrons and ions, particularly ion chains, in ionic crystals are important to understanding of the mechanism of superconductivity. The author has made efforts to establish a candidate mechanism of electron-pairing and superconductivity in ionic crystals.
Analyses are first made to a one-dimensional long ion lattice chain model (EDP model), with the presence of lattice wave modes having frequency ω. A mechanism of electron pairing is established.
Analyses are then extended to scenarios of 3D ionic crystals, particularly those with a donor/acceptor system, with emphasis being given to the interpretation and understanding of binding energy of electron pairs formed between electrons at the top/bottom of donor/acceptor band and the bottom/top of conducting/full band.
It is established that once the lattice/EM wave modes are established in its range, which can be long or even macroscopic, electron pairs are produced in the crystal’s electron system over the same range by stimulated transitions induced by the EM wave mode. The lattice wave mode having the maximum frequency ωM is of special significance with respect to superconductivity, for electron pairs produced by it can be stabilized in the context of a combination of some special factors (including energy level structure featured by donor/acceptor band and ωM) with a binding energy typically no smaller than hωM/(2π). A candidate mechanism of electron pairing in ion crystals and therefore of superconductivity is provided.
candidate mechanisms of electron pairing near EF at T=0, binding energy of the electron pairs thus formed, and superconductivity in mono-atom crystals have been proposed.
Once EM wave modes are established in the ranges of their associated lattice chains of a crystal concerned, which ranges can be long or even macroscopic, electron-pairs are produced in the crystal’s electron system over these ranges. As EM wave modes with frequencies below certain value (corresponding to an energy value Δ) may have little contribution to stimulated transitions of electrons and electron-pairing, at T=0 each of the electrons at and near EF pairs with one of the electrons at energy levels of EF-hωM/(2π)≤E≤EF-Δ (where ωM is the maximum frequency of lattice wave modes of the system, which is often associated with a specific crystal orientation), resulting in a binding energy of at least Δ for each of these pairs at T=0.

With emphasis on time-dependency of electron-lattice system, we suggest the fallacy of presumed quantization in the context of electron-lattice system and propose the definition of phonons as carriers of electromagnetic interaction between electrons and vibrating lattice. We have investigated behaviors of electron-lattice system relating to “measured” energy, identified non-stationary steady state of electrons engaging in “electron pairing by virtual stimulated transitions”, recognized some origins of binding energy of electron pairs in crystals, and explained the state of electrons under pairing. Moreover, we have recognized the behavior and role of threshold phonon, which exists in electron pairing and is released by the electron from excited state, and have recognized the redundancy of the threshold phonon when the electrons under pairing have entered non-stationary steady state. We have also studied the effect of the stability of lattice wave on the evolution of the function of transition probability and on the stability of phonon-mediated electron pairs, the competition among multiple pairings associated with one same ground state, and determination of presence/absence of superconductivity by such competition.
The document discusses the internal mechanism of electric potential in superconductors carrying a superconducting current. It reveals that the potential difference is due to the difference in electron attraction energies between the normal and superconducting states of the material. This difference is caused by resonant electron-phonon interactions. The potential is analyzed at extreme temperatures of 0K and the critical temperature, using concepts from quantum mechanics, relativity, and BCS theory. The potential difference provides an explanation for electric fields in superconductors without resistance.

The new results reported here mainly include: 1) recognition that phonon is carrier of electromagnetic interaction between its lattice wave mode and electrons; 2) recognition that binding energy of electron pairs of high-temperature superconductivity is due to escape of optical threshold phonons, of electron pairs at or near Fermi level, from crystal by direct radiation; 3) recognition that binding energy of electron pairs of low-temperature superconductivity is possibly due to escape of non-optical threshold phonons by anharmonic crystal interactions; and, 4) recognition of a possible mechanism explaining why some crystals never have a superconducting phase. While electron pairing is phonon-mediated in general, HTS should be associated with electron pairing mediated by optical phonon at or near Fermi level (EF), so the rarity of HTS corresponds to the rarity of such pairing match.

Lecture 02.; spectroscopic notations by Dr. Salma Amirsalmaamir2
The document discusses spectroscopic notations used to describe the quantum states of atoms and ions. It introduces the principal, azimuthal, magnetic, and spin quantum numbers that are used to quantitatively describe observed atomic transitions. The spectroscopic notation describes the atomic state using these quantum numbers, written as 2S+1LJ, where S, L, and J are the spin, orbital, and total angular momentum quantum numbers. Examples are given for the ground and excited states of helium.
This document provides an overview of molecules, atoms, and nuclei from a quantum physics perspective. It describes:
1) How molecules are formed from atoms bonding together and the sizes of molecules, atoms, and nuclei differ in orders of magnitude.
2) How quantum mechanics is used to describe atoms like hydrogen and the allowed energy levels and probability distributions of electrons.
3) Additional concepts like an atom's spin, spin-orbit interaction, and the need for symmetric/antisymmetric wavefunctions for indistinguishable particles in multielectron atoms.
1. Hartree-Fock theory describes molecules using a linear combination of atomic orbitals to approximate molecular orbitals. It treats electrons as independent particles moving in the average field of other electrons.
2. The Hartree-Fock method involves iteratively solving the Fock equations until self-consistency is reached between the input and output orbitals. This approximates electron correlation by including an average electron-electron repulsion term.
3. The Hartree-Fock method satisfies the Pauli exclusion principle through the use of Slater determinants, which are antisymmetric wavefunctions that go to zero when the spatial or spin coordinates of any two electrons are identical.
The document discusses the wave properties of particles. Some key points:
1) Louis de Broglie hypothesized in 1924 that matter has an associated wave-like nature with a wavelength given by Planck's constant divided by momentum.
2) A particle can be represented as a localized "wave packet" resulting from the interference and superposition of multiple waves with slightly different wavelengths and frequencies.
3) Davisson and Germer's electron diffraction experiment in 1927 provided direct evidence of the wave nature of electrons and supported de Broglie's hypothesis by measuring electron wavelengths matching those expected.
This document provides an overview of molecular spectroscopy and the types of molecular spectra. It discusses the different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum and the types of molecular transitions each induces. Energy level diagrams are presented to illustrate electronic, vibrational, and rotational transitions in molecules. The concept of degrees of freedom in polyatomic molecules is explained, showing how the total degrees of freedom are divided among translational, rotational, and vibrational components. Examples are given to calculate the vibrational degrees of freedom for different linear and non-linear molecules.
1. The Stern-Gerlach experiment discovered that silver atoms split into two beams, indicating the presence of an intrinsic "spin" angular momentum of 1/2 beyond orbital angular momentum.
2. Elementary particles are classified as fermions, with half-integer spin, and bosons, with integer spin. The spin of the electron is represented by a two-component spinor.
3. In a magnetic field, the spin precesses around the field direction at the Larmor frequency, independent of initial spin orientation. This principle underlies paramagnetic resonance and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

The document summarizes key concepts from quantum chemistry, including:
1) It introduces the historical development of quantum mechanics from classical mechanics and discusses how quantum theory was needed to describe atomic and subatomic phenomena.
2) It then summarizes the particle-like and wave-like properties of light and matter and introduces the Schrodinger equation.
3) The document concludes by presenting the particle-in-a-box model and explaining how solving the Schrodinger equation for this system shows that a particle's energy is quantized into discrete energy levels when confined in a box.
The document discusses subatomic physics and the fundamental interactions and particles that govern it. It introduces the four fundamental interactions - gravity, electromagnetism, strong, and weak. It describes the standard model of particle physics, which includes 12 matter particles (6 quarks and 6 leptons) and 12 force-carrying particles. It discusses how mass and energy are equivalent according to Einstein's famous equation E=mc2. The strong nuclear force binds protons and neutrons together in the tiny nucleus at the center of atoms.
This document provides an overview of quantum mechanics. It begins by explaining that quantum mechanics describes the motion of subatomic particles and is needed to understand the properties of atoms and molecules. It then discusses some key developments in quantum mechanics, including Planck's quantum theory of radiation, Einstein's explanation of the photoelectric effect, de Broglie's hypothesis of matter waves, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, and Schrodinger's wave equation. The document also compares classical and quantum mechanics and provides examples of quantum mechanical applications like atomic orbitals and black body radiation.
1. Rutherford's alpha scattering experiment provided evidence for the nuclear model of the atom, showing that the mass and positive charge of an atom are concentrated in a small, dense nucleus.
2. The binding energy curve shows that binding energy per nucleon initially rises with atomic mass number before peaking at iron-56 and then decreasing, indicating relative nuclear stability.
3. Radioactive decay follows first-order kinetics and the rate of decay is characterized by the disintegration constant λ, with the half-life period giving the time for half the radioactive nuclei to decay.
Quantum theory provides a framework to understand phenomena at the atomic scale that cannot be explained by classical physics. It proposes that energy is emitted and absorbed in discrete units called quanta. This explains observations like the photoelectric effect where electrons are only ejected above a threshold frequency. Light behaves as both a wave and particle - a photon. Similarly, matter exhibits wave-particle duality as demonstrated by electron diffraction. At the quantum level, only probabilities, not definite values, can be predicted. Quantum mechanics is applied to describe atomic structure and spectra.

(A prepring publication)
Establishment of mechanism of electron pairing with a lower limit of binding energy is necessary for understating of superconductivity. Due to conservation of wavevector, photon absorption/emission by an electron in crystal can only be allowed across at least on band gap, which is also true for virtual photon absorption/emission inducing electron pairing in crystal. Therefore, it is clearly explained that electron pairs, formed by virtual stipulated transition, can only exist between electrons across a band gap, with a binding energy no smaller than the width of the band gap.

A dip is identified in existing ARPES spectra of Bi2223. The energy separation between the dip and Bogoliubov (BQP) peak is well-defined at a value of about 68 meV. More remarkably, it is shown that, with a lattice-mode-specific modification detailed below, the strength of the dip is in well qualitative agreement with that of the BQP peak. These results strongly suggest an origin of BQPs as excitations by phonons of a very small number of lattice modes, which could be a direct clue to understanding the interactions leading to nodal and antinodal energy gap features and even high-temperature superconductivity itself.

The magnitude of an apparent energy gap is recognized as a measure of relative instability of electron pairing at the gap location, for it indicates that stabilized pairing can only be realized at a greater binding energy. At a low temperature, the chemical potential of a system like Bi2212 is determined by the most stable pairing, and will drop by about the energy of the mediating mode when pairing is stable. Bogoliubov quasiparticles are explained as excitations by lattice modes that win a mode competition among mediating modes and therefore have a large number of phonons depleted from losing modes. Thus, the energy of BQP peak is that of upper states of pairs mediated by the winning modes (~70 meV), while the energy of the nodal kink is that of the base states of these pairs, which shifts upward due to band topology on leaving the node. The “superconducting gap” corresponds to a kinked band section, a kink at the lower edge of which varnishes as nodal gap transform into the antinodal one.

The “superconducting gap” corresponds to a kinked band section, a kink at the lower edge of which varnishes as nodal gap transform into the antinodal one.
Microscopic Mechanisms of Superconducting Flux Quantum and Superconducting an...Qiang LI
We have provided microscopic explanations to superconducting flux quantum and (superconducting and normal) persistent current. Flux quantum is generated by current carried by "deep electrons" at surface states. And values of the flux quantum differs according to the electronic states and coupling of the carrier electrons. Generation of persistent carrier electrons does not dissipate energy; instead there would be emission of real phonons and release of corresponding energy into the environment; but the normal carrier electrons involved still dissipate energy. Even for or persistent carriers,there should be a build-up of energy of the middle state and a build-up of the probability of virtual transition of electrons to the middle state, and the corresponding relaxation should exist accordingly.
Explaining cuprates antinodal psuedogap features lq111203Qiang LI
We provide an explanation of anti-nodal pseudogap features of cuprates on the basis of a proposed electron pairing model, and recognize the bosonic modes responsible for electron pairings leading to the anti-nodal pseudogap features, as having and energy range estimated at about 25-30 meV.
The document proposes a mechanism for electron pairing and superconductivity in metals at low temperatures. It suggests that constant virtual stimulated transitions of valence electrons, driven by electromagnetic wave modes coupled to lattice vibrations, can lead to electron pairing. At zero temperature, each electron near the Fermi energy pairs with another electron at a lower energy level, giving the pairs a minimum binding energy equal to an energy value Δ related to lattice vibration frequencies. This electron pairing produces superconductivity in metals below a critical temperature that depends on the strength of electromagnetic wave modes at low frequencies associated with long-range lattice vibrations.
lecture classical and Quantum Free electron theory (FERMI GAS) (23-24).pdfLobnaSharaf
The electron theory of solids explains properties through electronic structure. It applies to metals and nonmetals. The theory developed in three stages:
1. Classical free electron theory treated electrons as free gas particles. It could not explain many properties.
2. Quantum free electron theory incorporated quantum mechanics. Electrons occupy discrete energy levels according to Fermi-Dirac statistics.
3. Band theory views electrons moving in periodic potentials of atom arrays. It explains conductivity, effective mass, and the origin of band gaps.
Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter. There are different types of electromagnetic waves that make up the electromagnetic spectrum, including gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, and radio waves. Spectroscopy techniques take advantage of the fact that molecules absorb specific wavelengths of light depending on their structure. Absorption spectra provide information about molecular structure through relationships between absorption wavelengths and transitions between molecular energy levels.

This document discusses the discovery of artificial radioactivity by Curie and Joliot in 1934. When boron and aluminum were bombarded with alpha particles, the target nuclei continued emitting radiation even after the alpha source was removed. Through experiments, they determined the radiation consisted of positrons, positively charged particles with mass equal to electrons. Curie and Joliot explained that bombarding the elements created unstable nuclei that spontaneously disintegrated. For boron, this produced radioactive nitrogen that decayed to stable carbon with a half-life of 10.1 minutes by emitting a positron. For aluminum, it produced radioactive phosphorus with a half-life of about 3 minutes that decayed to stable phosphorus. This demonstrated the
This document provides an overview of electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. It discusses how ESR works by applying a magnetic field to induce transitions between electron spin energy levels, which are split due to interactions between unpaired electrons and their environment. Specifically, it describes how orbital interactions and nuclear hyperfine interactions affect the ESR spectrum. It also discusses experimental considerations like microwave frequencies, magnetic field strengths, sensitivity, saturation effects, and nuclear hyperfine interactions. The goal is to provide fundamentals of ESR spectroscopy and introduce its capabilities for studying organic and organometallic radicals and complexes.
The document discusses the internal mechanism of electric potential in superconductors carrying a superconducting current. It reveals that the potential difference is due to the difference in electron attraction energies between the normal and superconducting states of the material. This difference is caused by resonant electron-phonon interactions. The potential is analyzed at extreme temperatures of 0K and the critical temperature, using concepts from quantum mechanics, relativity, and BCS theory. The potential difference provides an explanation for electric fields in superconductors without resistance.
The document summarizes the author's theory on the internal mechanism that causes electric potential differences in superconductors carrying superconducting currents. The author argues that at zero Kelvin, the energy of electron attraction in Cooper pairs differs between the normal and current-carrying states of the superconductor. This difference in energy corresponds to the potential difference of the superconducting current. Near the critical temperature, resonant electron-phonon interactions are responsible for equalizing the energies of electrons and phonons, resulting in a loss of superconductivity. The author presents the theory from an engineering perspective using quantum mechanical and relativistic concepts.

Principles and applications of esr spectroscopySpringer
- Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy is used to study paramagnetic substances, particularly transition metal complexes and free radicals, by applying a magnetic field and measuring absorption of microwave radiation.
- ESR spectra provide information about electronic structure such as g-factors and hyperfine couplings by measuring resonance fields. Pulse techniques also allow measurement of dynamic properties like relaxation.
- Paramagnetic species have unpaired electrons that create a magnetic moment. ESR detects transition between spin energy levels induced by microwave absorption under an applied magnetic field.
This document outlines a talk on simulation of laser-plasma interaction. It discusses using particle-in-cell simulations to model laser propagation and absorption in plasma, which is important for applications like inertial confinement fusion. It notes that parametric instabilities can limit laser intensity in long underdense plasmas and affect absorption. As an example, it describes simulations of laser propagation in plasma coronae for shock ignition fusion, where instabilities like stimulated Raman and Brillouin scattering can cause backscattering and hot electron generation.
Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy involves exposing paramagnetic substances containing unpaired electrons to microwave radiation, causing transitions between the electron spin energy levels. ESR provides information about unpaired electrons and their chemical environment. The ESR spectrum of hydrogen atom appears as a doublet due to interaction between the unpaired electron and nuclear spin of hydrogen. More complex spectra result from interactions between unpaired electrons and multiple nuclear spins. ESR is used to study paramagnetic species and identify unpaired electrons in compounds.

A model of electron pairing, with depletion of mediating phonons at fermi sur...Qiang LI
We present a model of electron pairing based on nonstationary interpretation of electron-lattice interaction. Electron-lattice system has an intrinsic time dependent characteristic as featured by Golden Rule, by which electrons on matched pairing states are tuned to lattice wave modes, with pairing competition happening among multiple pairings associated with one electron state. The threshold phonon of an electron pair having a good quality factor can become redundant and be released from the pair to produce a binding energy. Lattice modes falling in a common linewidth compete with one another, like modes competing in a lasing system. In cuprates, due to near-parallel band splitting at and near Fermi Surface (EF), a great number of electron pairs are tuned to a relatively small number of lattice wave modes, leading to strong mode competition, transfer of real pairing-mediating phonons from EF towards the “kink”, and depletion of these phonons at and near EF.

Mechanism of electron pairing in crystals, with binding energy no smaller tha...Qiang LI
The document discusses the mechanism of electron pairing in crystals with a binding energy greater than or equal to one band gap. It explains that due to conservation of wavevector, virtual photon absorption/emission inducing electron pairing can only occur across at least one band gap. Therefore, electron pairs formed by virtual stimulated transitions must have a binding energy greater than or equal to the width of the band gap. It also reviews how electron pairing is established and explains why virtual stimulated transitions in low-frequency ranges are negligible.

Electron-pairing in ionic crystals and mechanism of
superconductivity
(Author: Q. LI)
Abstract
The behaviors of valence electrons and ions, particularly ion chains, in some
ionic crystals are important to understanding of the mechanism of superconductivity.
The author has made efforts to establish a candidate mechanism of electron-pairing
and superconductivity in ionic crystals.
Analyses are first made to a one-dimensional long ion lattice chain model (EDP
model), with the presence of lattice wave modes having frequency ω. A mechanism of
electron pairing is established.
Analyses are then extended to scenarios of 3D ionic crystals, particularly those
with a donor/acceptor system, with emphasis being given to the interpretation and
understanding of binding energy of electron pairs formed between electrons at the
top/bottom of donor/acceptor band and the bottom/top of conducting/full band.
It is established that once the lattice/EM wave modes are established in its range,
which can be long or even macroscopic, electron pairs are produced in the crystal’s
electron system over the same range by stimulated transitions induced by the EM
wave mode. The lattice wave mode having the maximum frequency ωM is of special
significance with respect to superconductivity, for electron pairs produced by it can be
stabilized in the context of a combination of some special factors (including energy
level structure featured by donor/acceptor band and ωM) with a binding energy
typically no smaller than hωM/(2π). A candidate mechanism of electron pairing in ion
crystals and therefore of superconductivity is provided.

Generalized analyses of 1-D long ion lattice chain model
It has been established that for a one-dimensional long ion lattice chain, under
the assumptions that only the interactions between neighboring ions are considered
and that the interaction energy are approximated up to its quadratic term, the general
solutions of lattice waves have the form of [1]:
ω±2=β(M+m)/Mm){1±[1-4Mmsin22πaq/(M+m)2]}
(B/A) ± =-(mω±2-2β)/ (2βcos2πaq)
with -1/4a<q≤1/4a, where a is the equilibrium distance between neighboring ions, A
and B are the magnitude of the first and second ions respectively, M and m are the
mass of the first and second ions respectively, and β is the tension of interaction
between neighboring ions. With Born–Karman boundary condition exp(-2πi2Naq)=1,
we have: q=n/(2Na), with n=±1, ±2,…. ±N/2.
The above solution of ω+ peaks at q=0, so the optical waves with q=±1/(2Na)
has the maximum ω+ value of the system, with value of ω- being always smaller than
that of ω+. There will be a total of 2N lattice waves for a total of N ions in the chain,
which therefore include all the oscillating modes of the chain.
Thus, the time-dependent potential field can be written as:
V(x,t)=V0(x)+ G(x) Σsinωt
where the summation is over all the lattice waves ω, V0(x) is the static potential field
of the dipole chain without vibration, and G(x)= G(x+a) is a periodic function of x.
With H=H0 + G(x) Σsinωt and H0=V0(x).
We have special solutions: ψn(x,t)= φn (x)exp (iEnt/h)
where φn (x) being the static solution of static periodic filed V0(x).
With perturbation G(x)sinωt,
ψ(x,t)= Σan(t) φn(x) exp(iEnt/h), with a n = a n0+a n1+a n2+….
a n0=δnk, and
a nk1 ∝ ∫Vnk(t) exp (i(En-Ek)t/h)dt
Vnk(t)= ∫φn*(x) G(x)Σsin(ωt) φk(x)dx
with Enk =En-Ek, we have:
a nk1 ∝Σ(exp(2πi(Enk+hω)t/h)/ (Ep+Enk)-exp(-2πiωt(Enk- hω)t/h)/ (Ep-Enk)
(Equ. 1-3)
Here we can see that the first term on the right side in Equ.1-3 corresponds to
the probability that the electron absorbs a photon (or phonon and etc.) to transit from
2
3. En to Ek, while the second term corresponds to the probability that the electron emits a
photon to transit from Ek to En.
a nk1 has a total of 2N peaks at Enk=±hω/(2π) corresponding to q=n/(2Na), with
n=±1, ±2,…. ±N/2. For illustrative purpose, we identified the maximum one of all ω
values as ωM, which corresponds to the “optical” wave at q=±1/(2Na).
As indicated by Equ. 1-3, a nk1 converges to Enk=±hω/(2π) along with time t, and
after some time t, almost all electrons in the system will transit with Enk=±hω/(2π)
(where ω has N discrete values), that is: a nk1 →Σδ(Enk-hωm/(2π)), where m=1, 2,
3…..denotes the different lattice/EM wave modes of the ion chains, with ωM being the
greatest one among them.
Electron-pairing
However, a well-established fact is that all electrons in a crystal are in energy
bands, and in many ion crystals electrons form full bands. Thus, for typical hω/(2π) of
lattice wave modes, most (if not all) electrons in energy bands cannot normally transit
as indicated by (Equ. 1-3).
The way for the electrons to cope with this is that they form themselves into
“pairs”, so that both of the two electrons in each pair, having energy En and Ek
respectively (here we can safely assume that En>Ek), can transit by exchanging their
states, with the electron originally at energy En emitting a photon (or phonon or the
like) of energy hω/(2π)=En-Ek, which is directly absorbed (virtual photon
emission/absorption) by the other electron, which is originally at Ek.
With a nk1 →Σδ(Enk-hωm/(2π)) with time t, only transitions corresponding to
En-Ek= hωm/(2π) will exist in the system after sufficient time t. This process results in
that each energy level in the bands of the system become distinguishable during
stimulated transitions of electrons.
It is to be noted that whether an electron absorbs/emits a phonon or photon in
the above transition does not affect any of the conclusions of this paper, for these
absorptions/emissions involved in electron-pairings and/or stimulated transitions are
virtual; they do not need to actually happen. But as the above discussed electron
transitions and pairings in the ionic crystals are generated by the oscillating field of
EM wave modes, it is photons that are absorbed/emitted during these transitions and
pairings.
Electron-pairing/exchange in 3D ionic crystals
A crystal with N primitive cells has 3nN oscillating modes, where n is the
number of atoms/ions in one primitive cell. As according to a report of neutron
non-elastic scattering experiment on KBr crystal [2], ω values of different wave
modes have the relation: LO>TO>LA>TA. The report also shows that, for each
crystal orientation, the maximum of ω is at q→0 of the LO (longitudinal optical)
modes; the report further shows that for KBr crystal the maximum of ω in crystal
orientation [111] is greater than that in crystal orientation [100], so electron pairs
corresponding to ω in [100] will be broken by some of the phonon/photons in [111].
This indicates that only a crystal orientation with the maximum ωM of all possible
crystal orientations may correspond to the direction of prospective superconductivity,
for it is the direction corresponding to the ωM of the surviving electron pairs.
3
4. Due to limitation of Pauli Principle, electrons in the same pair in system
ψ(t)=U(t,t0)ψ(t0) have opposite spins.
Generally, both spontaneous transition and stimulated transition exist in a
system of ψ(t)=U(t,t0)ψ(t0). (Spontaneous transition may be limited by occupancy
conflicts in crystals.) In ionic crystals, lattice is formed by ion chains, so vibration
modes of lattice generate oscillating electromagnetic (EM) wave modes of the same
frequencies as the lattice vibration modes. Thus, the stimulated transitions in an ion
crystal are those driven by such oscillating electromagnetic wave modes.
For two electrons in the electron system of such an ion crystal, if their energy
difference matches the frequency of one of the lattice vibration modes, the stimulated
transitions of the two electrons in the pair can be in the form of their exchange of
states between themselves, that is, by pairing themselves with each other. In such
pairing, the stimulated transitions of the two electrons become “virtual”- the
stimulated transitions need not to happen in reality, especially in the sense that the
electrons concerned are non-distinguishable. Under complete “occupancy conflict”
(that is, all prospective targeted states for transition of the electrons concerned have
been occupied by other electrons,) such electron-pairing/exchange becomes the only
way for the electrons to perform the stimulated transitions as required by
ψ(t)=U(t,t0)ψ(t0) with U(t,t0) →Σδ(Enk-hωm/(2π)).
Electron pairing and binding energy in an acceptor-doped system
If, in the energy band system of the crystal orientation corresponding to ωM, an
acceptor energy band with energy levels Ei1<Ei2<Ei3… is introduced in a full band
system of an ionic crystal (see FIG. 1), with Ei1-Esmax equals to or slightly smaller than
hωM/(2π), where Esmax being the highest energy level in the full band and ωM being
the greatest frequency of the oscillating electromagnetic wave modes associated with
the ion chains in the crystal, then, since there are stimulated transitions corresponding
to Enk=hωM/(2π), electrons on Esmax level of the full band can transit to Ei1 by
stimulated transition of Enk=hωM/(2π), thus forming a new system including the
acceptor energy level Ei1 and the original system ψ(t), and this new system
(ψ(t)+{Ei1}) is conductive.
Binding energy of electron pairs relating to acceptor band
More generally, for example, assuming that ωM, Esmax, and, say, Ei2 satisfy
hωM/(2π)=Esmax- Ei2, a new system (ψ(t)+{Ei1}+{Ei2}) is then formed including the
acceptor energy levels Ei1 and Ei2 and the original system ψ(t).
If some holes (such as those left by electrons transiting to the acceptor band)
exists in the full band, the electrons pair like (φij +φsmax) (with j=1,2,…) can be broken
by transition of the lower electron in the pair to any of the holes. So with the presence
of even one hole in the full band, the electron pairs like (φij +φsmax) could not be stable.
But a pool of electron pairs (φij +φsmax) in dynamic equilibrium could possibly be
maintained across the top of the full band and the bottom of the acceptor band.
However, as an insulator is easily charged, especially under external electrical
field/voltage, if the ionic crystal is negatively charged, electrons are injected into the
system, thus filling the holes in the full band; in such a scenario, the above electron
pairs (φij +φsmax) will be stabilized up to a possible binding energy.
4
5. Then,, a key and subtle factor here is determination of the binding energy of
such an electron pair (φij +φsmax).
Due to the limitation of the particular energy structure of this scenario, if the
electron pair is to be broken by transition of an electron in the pair, then at least on
electron in the pair has to transit to the energy level Ei3 or higher.

FIG. 1: p-doped system
As the macroscopic energy of the combined system is, by definition, the average
of the measured energy values over long time, the contribution to the macroscopic
energy by the electron that still remains on (φi2 +φsmax) after the other electron transits
to Ei3 (or higher) is one half of hωM/(2π) (that is, the average value of the energy
values at φi2 and φsmax), while that by the electron that transits to Ei3 (or higher) is
some value greater than hωM/(2π), so the change in the macroscopic energy is an
increase of at least hωM/(4π).
However, the half photon energy seems strange and ridiculous.
An alternative approach is by the argument that the electron transiting to Ei3
actually does not have the energy hωM/(2π) at the moment just before it makes the
transition. A model for this is that the electron pair includes the two electrons plus a
photon with an energy hωM/(2π), which binds the two electrons together to form the
electron pair. This is phenomenologically in conformity with that virtual photon
exchange happens when the two electrons exchange their states, as indicated by the
expression of Equ. 1-3 discussed above. The two electrons in the pair co-occupy the
correlated states of (φij +φsmax) without specifying which electron is in which of the
two states. As the pair is broken in a general situation (without the limitation of band
5
6. structure as in the present system), the photon might be taken by any of the two
electrons, taken by the corresponding EM wave mode, or even emitted as a free
photon. But in the particular situation of the energy level structure under
consideration, one of the two electrons must take one photon of hωM/(2π) (not
necessarily the photon originally within the pair, though) to go to an energy level at or
above Ei3, which is the only way for it to go; the remaining electron will take another
photon (which can be the original one) of hωM/(2π) to stay at and transit between (φij
+φsmax).
(So the question here is, in the scenario that the electron alternatively emits and
absorbs such a photon of hωM/(2π), whether the EM wave “spends” the energy of the
photon entirely for the electron transition or reserves half of the photon’s energy as
part of EM wave’s own energy? If the former is true, the binding energy of the
electron pair concerned is hωM/(2π), otherwise, the binding energy would be halved.)
Thus, where the one half of photon energy is missed is recognized: the photon
associated with the remaining electron at (φij +φsmax) is omitted.
Therefore, the energy of the combined system as discussed above should be
increased by hωM/(2π) after the electron pair is broken, which should be the binding
energy of this electron pair when there is not hole in the full band.
We then consider the distribution function of Gibbs’ canonical ensemble of the
combined system of the electrons, the lattice, and the EM wave modes associated with
the lattice. The proportion ρ of members of the ensemble before the transition of the
electron to Ei3 being [4] ρ(E1) ∝ exp(-βhωM/(2π)), while that after the transition of the
electron to Ei3 being ρ(E2)∝ exp(-2βhωM/(2π)) (where 1/β=kT). So
ρ(E2)/ρ(E1)=exp(-βhωM/(2π)). This is in fact the probability that the electron pair is
broken by any transition (in this particular energy band structure), with hωM/(2π)
being the binding energy of the pair against destruction by transition of an electron in
the pair.
As an estimation of the stability of such an electron pair with such a binding
energy, ωM/(2π)≈1013-1014/s, at T=100K there will be (hωM/(2π))/(kT)≈4.65-46.5.
Thus, for ωM above, say, 5x1013/s, such an electron pair can rarely be broken by a
phonon even at T=100K [3].
Similarly, Ei1 can also form a superconducting electron pair with an electron on
a corresponding energy level below Esmax, with a binding energy no smaller than
hωM/(2π).
Further, in some samples, in a range of Δ=hωM/(2π)-(Ei1-Esmax) there can be a
plurality of energy levels Ei1<Ei2<Ei3… in the acceptor band, and each of these energy
levels may have an electron forming a stabilized electron pair with an electron at a
corresponding level in the acceptor band. But if Δ increases to the extent as making
hωM/(2π)-Δ=Ei1-Esmax≤maximum frequency of LO modes corresponding to any other
crystal orientation, superconductivity may never happen.
Electron pairs in donor band system
The mechanism of superconductivity in a system having a donor band
(Ei1>Ei2>Ei3……) is similar to that having a acceptor band, except that the donor band
is beneath a conducting band, with the lowest level Esmin in the conducting band being
6
7. higher than the highest level Ei1 in the donor band by a difference equal to or slightly
smaller than hωM/(2π). (see FIG. 2)
For illustration, we assume Esmin-Ei2=hωM/(2π). Then, electrons on donor energy
levels Ei1 and Ei2 may enter the conducting band by stimulated transition by the EM
wave mode of ωM, and may then form electron pairs with electrons which later transit
to Ei1 and Ei2. But these electron pairs are unstable as far as any hole(s) (particularly
the holes left by the electrons transiting to the conducting band) exists in the donor
band, for the electron at the lower energy of each of the electron pairs can easily
transit to such a hole.
If, however, the hole(s) in the donor band are somehow filled, those pairs
formed by electrons on the conducting band with the electrons on levels Ei1 and Ei2
will become stabilized, with the similar mechanism as explained above with respect to
acceptor band.

FIG. 2: n-doped system
A scenario is that external electrons may enter the system, at a relatively high
energy level (particularly under external electric field/voltage), and transit to the
donor band or levels, so that holes in the donor band are filled and the electron pairs
are stabilized.
Similar to a system with an acceptor band, the energy level range of
Δ=hωM/(2π)-( Esmin-Ei1) can be increased to accommodate a plurality of energy levels
so that a plurality of electron pairs can be formed between respective energy levels at
the bottom of the conducting band and those at the top of the donor band (see FIG. 2).
But if Δ is increased to make hωM/(2π)-Δ=Esmin-Ei1≤maximum of frequency of LO
modes of other crystal orientation, superconductivity might never happen.
Also similar to a system with an acceptor band, each of such electron pairs,
formed between respective energy levels at the bottom of the conducting band and
those at the top of the donor band, has a binding energy no smaller than hωM/(2π).

8. In summary, once EM wave mode of ωM is established in the range of its
associated ion chain, which can be long or even macroscopic, electron-pairing is
correspondingly produced in the crystal’s electron system over the same range. As
some electron pairs in the donor/acceptor band system of a suitable ionic crystal have
a binding energy no smaller than photon energy hωM/(2π) of the highest frequency of
the EM wave/lattice wave modes of the ionic crystal, these electron pairs can hardly
be broken by phonons or stimulated excitation in the crystal, and superconductivity
can therefore be established. The destruction of the electron pairs may be due to other
interactions, particularly many-phonon interactions, and/or destruction of domination
of lattice wave mode of ωM over a sufficiently long range, and etc.
For single-atom crystal like metals, vibrations of atom cores generated by
acoustic wave modes of lattice might cause deviation of charge distribution, resulting
dipole chains and EM wave modes corresponding to the lattice wave modes, which
promote electron pairing. While factors like energy band structure features may not be
present in metals, those such as flattened shape of Fermi face might serve similar
function in limiting possible transitions by electrons in pairs, stabilizing electron pairs
and resulting in a corresponding binding energy of the electron pairs.
Conclusion
It is established that once the lattice/EM wave modes are established in its range,
which can be long or even macroscopic, electron pairs are produced in the crystal’s
electron system over the same range by stimulated transitions induced by the EM
wave mode. The lattice wave mode having the maximum frequency ωM is of special
significance regarding superconductivity, for electron pairs produced by it can be
stabilized in the context of a combination of some special factors (including energy
level structure featured by donor/acceptor band and ωM) with a binding energy
typically no smaller than hωM/(2π). A candidate mechanism of electron pairing in ion
crystals and therefore of superconductivity is provided.
