14 BS theory; electron phonon interactions play an essential role in attractive electron electron interactions Our theory; electron phonon interactions do not play an essential role in attractive electron electron interactions but play an essential role in the forming of energy gap by which electron pairs formed by oulomb interactions in the conventional superconductiving states become more stable than those in the normal metallic states at low temperatures

17 oncluding remarks (Part 2) 1. It has been believed for a long time that electron phonon interactions play an essential role in attractive electron electron interactions. However, according to our recent theoretical studies, electron phonon interactions do not play an essential role in attractive electron electron interactions but play an essential role in the forming of energy gap by which electron pairs formed by oulomb interactions in the conventional superconductiving states become more stable than those in the normal metallic states at low temperatures. 2. Room temperatures are very high temperatures for macroscopic sized materials, on the other hand, room temperatures are very low temperatures for microscopic sized materials. 3. By analogy with the nondissipative diamagnetic currents in the closed-shell electronic structures with large valence conduction band gaps in microscopic sized materials, there is a possibility that perfect diamonds exhibit room temperature macroscopic sized superconductivity.

The total electron phonon coupling constant becomes smaller with an increase in molecular size in both polyacenes and polyphenanthrenes becuase the carrier density per carbon atom becomes lower with an increase in molecular size. 2. The total electron phonon coupling constants for polyphenanthrenes are larger than those for polyacenes. Therefore, the molecular structures as well as the molecular sizes are closely related to the strengths of the electron phonon interactions. 3. Electron phonon interactions become much larger if the atoms in a frontier orbital, the electron density of which is very low, are substituted by heavier atoms and the phase patterns of the frontier orbital are not significantly changed.
