Cooper pair

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Cooper pair
n
(Physics / General Physics) Physics a pair of weakly bound electrons responsible for the transfer of charge in a superconducting material
[named after Leon Neil Cooper (born 1930), US physicist]
Cooper pair  (kpr)
A pair of weakly bound electrons in a superconductor. Cooper pairs have the property of bosons and can thus reside together in a ground state. They are named after their discoverer, American physicist Leon N. Cooper (born 1930). See also Bose-Einstein condensate.
