DISCOVERIES OF SIR A. COOPER.

Luminescence of a cooper pair.

This Letter theoretically discusses the photon emission spectra of a superconducting p-n junction. On the basis of the second order perturbation theory for electron-photon interaction, we show that the recombination of a Cooper pair with two p-type carriers causes enhancement of the luminescence intensity. The calculated results of photon emission spectra explain characteristic features of obse...

Nerve supply of the breast with special reference to the nipple and areola: Sir Astley Cooper revisited.

Cooper in 1840 described mammary branches from the 2nd-6th intercostal nerves, and noticed that the nipple was supplied by branches which lay close to the surface of the gland. Eckhard (1850) divided the mammary branches into superficial branches to the skin and nipple, and deep branches to the glandular tissue and nipple, but many later authors ignored those findings. After the second World Wa...

What Is a Cooper Pair?

Superconductivity and Fermi superfluidity have been subjects of increasing interest since their discovery. It seems as if nature wisely entangled Bose-Einstein (BE) condensation with these collective phenomena which are direct macroscopic manifestations of quantum physics. Recently, the nature of Cooper pairs in the BCS-BEC crossover has regained attention due to the observation of a large frac...
