← ScienceWhich mechanism impairs superconductivity upon exceeding critical current density?
A)Magnetic flux penetration (Abrikosov vortices)✓
B)Decreased electron-phonon interaction
C)Increased Cooper pair density
D)Phonon scattering rate decreases rapidly
💡 Explanation
Superconductivity fails as current increases because magnetic flux penetration introduces Abrikosov vortices, disrupting Cooper pair flow, therefore resistance arises rather than maintained zero resistance, because the magnetic field overcomes the material's ability to expel magnetic fields.
