Physics · Superconductivity
According to the BCS theory of superconductivity, what happens to electrons in certain materials when the temperature falls below the critical temperature?
- 1They transform into high-energy positrons through beta-decay.
- 2They form weakly bound pairs called Cooper pairs via phonon interaction.✓
- 3They break apart into individual quarks and exit the material.
- 4They undergo mutual electrostatic repulsion and form localized grids.
Correct answer
They form weakly bound pairs called Cooper pairs via phonon interaction.
