Re: 'charge-density-wave instability'
What does this mean, in simple speaking? Electrons pair up into cooper pairs because these electrons have lost their charge; these free electrons don’t have charge repulsion around anymore to gum up their party. Their charge is masked out of existence on the surface of the superconductor by the crystals structure deep within the bulk of the material of the superconductor. Positive electric fields reach out of the bulk material to neutralize negative charge. This is the way that the surface electrons feel charge. These surface electrons lose their charge at certain locations, strips, or channels on the surface of the superconductor. This is how the electrons become attractive to each other because theirs spins are still there and the electrons are now without charge. They will now attract magnetically another electron that is also without charge of the opposite magnetic polarity (opposite spin). When heat is added to the superconductor, the charge distribution imposed on the free electrons by the crystal structure inside the bulk of the material is disrupted. The electronic structure of the crystals is not strong enough to counteract the disruptive effects of atomic vibrations in the bulk of the material. A 'charge-density-wave instability’ develops. The once charge free surface electrons now regain their charge and break apart and superconductivity stops. In materials physics, it’s all about controlling from inside the bulk of the material, the behavior of the electrons on the surface of the material. This principle is the same for LENR.
