What are good references to understand how Cooper pairs transport charges in superconductors?
I am trying to get a deep understanding of superconductors (in the BCS treatment) and I am now focusing on a detailed description of charge flow in superconductors. I have managed to find some partial ...

How does too much current 'kill' a type-2 superconductor?
I recently saw this post: Can a superconducting wire conduct unlimited current?
One of the responses mentioned the Meissner effect. However, I am aware that this occurs primarily in type-1 ...

How is the supercurrent created?
Why and how is the supercurrent generated in a superconductor in response to an applied magnetic field? Does it flow only along the surface? If yes, why?

Tunneling electrons through a Josephson juction
A Josephson junction is a device made of two superconducting materials separated by a thin isolating layer. Without a potential difference between the superconductors the Cooper pairs are in coherent ...

How Cooper pairs conduct curent [duplicate]
we know that electrons in superconductor are coupled somehow (How does Cooper pairing work?)
creating quasi-particles called cooper pairs which are Bosons and going to ground state ( do not obey ...

Can a superconducting wire conduct unlimited current?
A superconducting wire has no electrical resistance and as such it does not heat up when current passes through it. Non-superconducting wires can be damaged by too much current, because they get too ...
