When two like charged participles are cooper paired together, do they still have charge? They may not. Their charge may be delocalized and exist at a location that is far distant from the spin part of them.
If they both had the same charge, how could they stick together? A quasi-neutron… just a thought… Cheers: Axil On Thu, May 24, 2012 at 12:57 AM, Axil Axil <janap...@gmail.com> wrote: > *It isn't clear to me why a cooper pair of protons would be of nuclear > dimensions, nor why they would be able to surmount the Coulomb barrier.* > > Essentially, there exists no Coulomb barrier at the point of charge > concentration if that concentration is dense enough. > > These days, I am interested in concentration of electron charge in a > small volume.
