For the high-temperature superconductors, we theorists are embarrassed to admit that after more than 20 years, we still aren't sure how these Cooper pairs form.
In superconductors, electrons move through the material together in pairs, called Cooper pairs.
Researchers working in physics, from the US, Europe, Brazil, Mexico, and Japan discuss Cooper pairs, superconductivity in highly correlated systems, the behavior of the Bose Einstein condensation critical temperature, the plasmon exchange model in carbon nanotubes, thermodynamic properties of point node superconductors, theory of the thermopower in YBCO, high-temperature superconductivity in carbon nanotubes, and magnetism and quark matter.
