A Purely Classical Derivation of the Meissner Effect?
arXiv:1201.6066
Abstract
A recent study (arXiv:1109.1968v2, to be published in American Journal of Physics) claims to provide a classical explanation of the Meissner effect. However, the argument misuses de Gennes' derivation of flux expulsion in superconductors.
