Scientific paper

For the Cooper/BCS model interaction in superconductors (SCs) it is shown: a) how BCS-Bose crossover picture transition temperatures Tc, defined self-consistently by both the gap and fermion-number equations, require unphysically large couplings to differ significantly from the Tc of ordinary BCS theory defined without the number equation since here the chemical potential is assumed equal to the Fermi energy; how although ignoring either hole- or electron-Cooper-pairs in the recent "complete boson-fermion model": b) one obtains the precise BCS gap equation for all temperatures T, but c) only half the zero-temperature BCS condensation energy emerges. Results (b) and (c) are also expected to hold for neutral-fermion superfluids (SFs)--such as liquid $^3$He, neutron matter and trapped ultra-cold fermion atomic gases--where the pair-forming two-fermion interaction of course differs from the Cooper/BCS one for SCs.
