| Why non-superconducting metallic elements become superconducting under high pressure (2009) | |||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||
| We predict that simple metals and early transition metals that become superconducting under high pressures will show a change in sign of their Hall coefficient from negative to positive under pressure. If verified, this will strongly suggest that hole carriers play a fundamental role in `conventional' superconductivity, as predicted by the theory of hole superconductivity..
