← ScienceWhich mechanism underlies zero resistance during superconducting transition?
A)Cooper pair formation via phonon exchange✓
B)Increased electron-phonon scattering events
C)Quasiparticle excitation across increased gap
D)Suppressed pair breaking due to thermal fluctuations
💡 Explanation
Cooper pair formation manifests because electron-phonon interactions induce an effective attraction creating correlated pairs, therefore resistance vanishes due to dissipationless current flow, rather than scattering or particle excitation processes.
