Here's an interesting revelation:
http://www.physicsweb.org/articles/news/8/10/10/1
Superconductivity may be caused by periodic nanodomains which contain
defects, disrupting the magnetic fields responsible for resistance to
current flow.
But even if a network of periodic defects suppresses the magnetic
opposition, is this enough to cause superconductivity? Even if it's
necessary, is it sufficient?
Will the natural lattice vibrations then be able to kick those
electrons along, boson-style?
If the nano-ordered defect domains aren't sufficient on their own,
then what else is necessary?
