Generation of charge imbalance in a superconductor by a temperature gradient

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
;
We predict that a superconductor carrying a supercurrent in a temperature gradient delT will develop a charge-imbalance voltage proportional to v/sub s/xdelT, where v/sub s/ is the superfluid velocity. The magnitude of the voltage is estimated.
