I think it is fair to invite at this Fest a chearful guest: They wear a crown: spin up or spin down the Cooper pair
They stay together only in cold weather
and can even shield a magnetic field
The Coopers dream to master the stream
to surf-ride and flee from the Fermi sea.
but can anyone save them from a d-wave?
The Coopers hate the polaron state.
There’s much more fun in a bipolaron!
Fermions want their shares within boson pairs The game gets quite funny (reminds Don Giovanni), but yields something novel: a Boson-Fermion model. localized bi-polarons and delocalized fermions (Annette Bußmann-Holder & Roman Micnas)
In such furious dance no one knows at once who’s single out of three: it’s supersymmetry!
Who’s the good man causing such nesting? Some are suggesting the apex-oxygen
Heinz Bilz proposed that such ability comes from nonlinear polarizability.
“Do ruthenates have triplet pairs?” This is the worst of all nightmares, a real kabbàla!” Georg meditates with a cup of Marsala.
The Coopers need increase their speed. That’s why they like to ride a good bike
Karl-Alex, the master, wants them even faster; but, rather than striving in an awful rodeo,
he wants them to drive an Alfa Romeo!
FIAT they like a large Alfa! ALFA Montreal 4.9
“Superconductors • Paul is informing – • will solve the problem • of global warming” Should we believe in this awful threat? Science confirms: it’s a real effect!
Happy birthday, Alex and Georg! Great science keeps you twenteenager and thank you very much Annette, Hugo and Davor!
