← ScienceWhich mechanism terminates superconductivity when a magnetic field exceeds a critical strength at fixed temperature?
A)Cooper pair symmetry breaking✓
B)Fermi level depopulation
C)Phonon scattering enhancement
D)Crystal lattice dislocation formation
💡 Explanation
Superconductivity ceases due to Cooper pair symmetry breaking above a critical magnetic field, because the energy gained from the field exceeds the binding energy. Therefore, the pairs unbind, rather than increased phonon scattering or lattice defects which influence resistance differently.
