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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

which appear to follow mechanisms distinct from those described by traditional BCS (Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer) theory. Magnetic elements and “magnetic ordering” have emerged as key factors in ...

Their results were published in Physical Review Letters. New discoveries in a long history Superconductivity was first discovered in mercury more than 100 years ago. Superconducting materials ...
