Which mechanism causes increased electrical resistance when a superconducting crystal grain boundary is subjected to high current density?

A)Andreev reflection reduction
B)Flux pinning enhancement
C)Josephson junction dissipation
D)Phonon scattering suppression

💡 Explanation

When a high current exceeds the critical current density at grain bounaries, the Josephson junctions switch to a resistive state because resistive dissipation occurs at the grain boundary, therefore the resistance increases, rather than remaining in SC state.
