THE MEISSNER EFFECT IN THE QUASI-CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM THEORY OF SUPERCONDUCTIVITY

Based on the quasi-chemical equilibrium theory of superconductivity, an explicitly gage-invariant proof of the Meissrer-Ochserfeld effect (magnetic field expulsion from a superconductor) is given. The essential condition for a Heissner effect is the Bose-Einstein condensation of electron pairs. Other aspects of the problem, such as the energy gap and plasma waves, are not necessary for the Meissner effect and do not appear in the calculation. The random-phase approximation was not used.
