Superconductivity and its Properties: Cooper Pairs, Meissner Effect, London Moment, Gravitomagnetic and Gravitoelectric Processes

Abstract

The following properties of superconductivity are considered in this work: the creation and destruction of Cooper pairs, “mass defect”, Meissner effect, London moment, gravitomagnetic and gravitoelectric processes. The
conducted research has shown that for explanation of the above-mentioned properties of superconductivity it is necessary to investigate the characteristics of physical vacuum. With this aim, the following physical models of physical vacuum are analyzed in the work. The Feynman model of creating of virtual photons by quantum objects, explaining the creation and destruction of Cooper pairs, “mass defect” and partly Meissner effect. The model of physical vacuum consisting of quantum oscillators by A. Einstein and O. Stern and the model of magnetic field by L. I. Sedov. The latter two models are basic for interpretation of Meissner effect, London moment, gravitomagnetic and gravitoelectric processes.
