Abstract

A new theory of unusual superconductivity is developed for states that may exist in both amorphous polymers and biological systems based on flexible polar dielectric substanccs. Its key points are firstly a low concentration of stable ions and free polarons, sccondly a flexible medium which allows their structural self-organization resulting in the formation of quasi-one-dimensional (1D) electron strings and thirdly a stable fine structure of any string corresponding to two electron subcrystals moving through one another with the single permitted velocity v. Both the localization and the strong exchange interaction of all electrons having parallel spins lead to triplet pairing with an energy of electron binding 2 δE ≈ 1 eV. The resulting ground state of that system is quasi-ID ferromagnetic superconductivity with an expected Tc ≫ 103 K. The good agreement between the theory and known experimental data predicts new quantum effects.
