Furthermore, as pointed out, low temperature superconduction
sets in when the electrons form a Wigner crystal. Wigner already showed in the
1930's that there is an energy gap. It has also been pointed out that in the
CuO ceramics the charge carriers form between the layers as quazi covalent
bonds; and a reference is given to another publication where this mechanism
has been modelled in detail.
Does your paper cite
A possible mechanism of superconductivity based on Wigner crystal and BEC By J.X. Dai, W. Tao, P. Hor, X.X. Dai
in:
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MODERN PHYSICS B 13 (29-31): 3499-3504 DEC 20 1999
The abstract would imply that they have suggested your mechanism for superconductivity:
"A new possible mechanism is suggested based on the Wigner crystal and Bose-Einstein condensation. Our previous studies on the singular states showed that Loudon's singular ground state is rejected by the orthogonality criteria. It is shown that 2D Wigner crystal can exist and to be a possible mechanism for HTS."
I read that you do not believe that a Bose condensate is required, but they seem to have much of what you are proposing.
