It was found that the presence of a magnetic field influences the formation of Cooper pairs, which are essential for superconductivity. The research indicates a weak first-order transition from ...

Type I superconductors WEEK 4 Current transport in superconductors, second-order phase transitions & the Ginzburg-Landau calculation for magnetic flux penetration WEEK 5 Microscopic theory of ...

Superconductivity is a fascinating phenomenon in which certain materials exhibit zero electrical resistance and expel magnetic fields below a characteristic temperature, known as the critical ...

Cooper pairs can all come together into a coherent ... Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer’s theory of phonon-based superconductivity earned them the physics Nobel Prize in 1972.

One of the hallmarks of superconductivity is the Meissner effect, where a superconducting material expels magnetic fields from its interior. This phenomenon occurs because the superconducting state is ...

The team explored two consequences of the pair spin-orbit interaction. First, this coupling induces p-wave superconducting pairing, where Cooper pairs—pairs of electrons that move together ...

At extremely high densities, quarks are expected to form pairs, as electrons do in a superconductor. This high-density quark behavior is called color superconductivity. The strength of pairing ...

A new study reveals that highly disordered indium oxide superconductors undergo a first-order quantum phase transition — a sudden shift from a superconducting to an insulating state. This ...
