Thermal Stability of Superconductors.
2020
A stability criterion is worked out for the superconducting phase. The validity of a prerequisite, established previously for persistent currents, is thereby confirmed. Temperature dependence is given for the specific heat and concentration of superconducting electrons in the vicinity of the critical temperature $T_c$. The isotope effect, mediated by electron-phonon interaction and hyperfine coupling, is analyzed. Several experiments, intended at validating this analysis, are presented, including one giving access to the specific heat of high-$T_c$ compounds.
