The Meissner effect in superconductors: emergence versus reductionism
J. E. Hirsch
The Meissner effect, the expulsion of magnetic field from the interior of a metal entering the superconducting state, is arguably the most fundamental property of superconductors,…
What holes in superconductors reveal about superconductivity
J. E. Hirsch
We consider a type I superconducting body that contains one or more holes in its interior that undergoes a transition between normal and superconducting states in the presence of a…
On the "Author Correction: Magnetic field screening in hydrogen-rich high-temperature superconductors", Nat Commun 14, 5322 (2023)
J. E. Hirsch
I analyze the implications of the recently published "Author Correction" (Nat Commun 14, 5322 (2023)) to a paper by Eremets and coauthors reporting magnetization measurements on hy…
Comment on arXiv:2312.04495 by M. I. Eremets and coauthors
J. E. Hirsch
In the recently posted arXiv:2312.04495v3 [1], its authors used a computer code written by me supplied to them by the authors of Ref. [2], and claimed that the results that they ob…
BCS theory of superconductivity: the world's largest Madoff scheme?
J. E. Hirsch
The time-tested BCS theory of superconductivity is generally accepted to be the correct theory of conventional superconductivity by physicists and, by extension, by the world at la…
The missing angular momentum of superconductors
J. E. Hirsch
We point out that the Meissner effect, the process by which a superconductor expels magnetic field from its interior, represents an unsolved puzzle within the London-BCS theoretica…
