Resumen:

Unification of the BCS and the Bose?Einstein condensation (BEC) theories is surveyed in detail via a generalized BEC (GBEC) finite-temperature statistical formalism. Its major difierence with BCS theory is that it can be diagonalized exactly. Under specified conditions it yields the precise BCS gap equation for all temperatures as well as the precise BCS zero-temperature condensation energy for all couplings, thereby suggesting that a BCSocondensate is a BE condensate in a ternary mixture of kinematically independent unpaired electronSocoexisting with equally proportioned weakly?bound two-electron and two-hole Cooper pairs. Without abandoning the electron-phonon mechanism in moderately weak coupling it sufices, in principle, to reproduce the unusually high values of Tc (in units of the Fermi temperature TF) of 0:01?0:05 empirically reported in the so?calledexotic superconductors of the Uemura plot, including cuprates, in contrast to the low values of Tc=TF = 10?3 roughly reproduced by BCS theory for conventional (mostly elemental) superconductors. Replacing the characteristic phonon?exchange Debye temperature by a characteristic magnon-exchange one more than twice in size can lead to a simple interaction model associated with spin?fluctuation-mediated pairing. © 2011 by World Scientific Publishing Co.
