Which mechanism causes lower critical magnetic field strength in type-I superconductors?

💡 Explanation

Decreased Cooper pair density weakens the superconducting state, because it reduces the energy required to break Cooper pairs resulting in phase transition below critical field, therefore the critical magnetic field lowers, rather than domains due to flux pinning.
