← ScienceWhich phenomenon explains superconductivity persistence, even with lattice defects?
A)Flux pinning trapping vortices here,✓
B)Increased electron scattering overall
C)Enhanced thermal fluctuations mainly.
D)Uniform static charge distribution
💡 Explanation
Flux pinning traps magnetic flux lines at crystal defects. These impede vortex motion, maintaining zero resistance because pinned vortices cannot dissipate energy as heat; therefore flux pinning maintains superconductivity, rather than scattering which increases resistance.
