Pippard relations

Pippard relations describe how two fundamental properties of superconductors—electron pair density (which relates to how many electrons are paired up to conduct without resistance) and magnetic penetration depth (how deeply magnetic fields enter the superconductor)—are connected. Essentially, as the superconducting electron pairs change with temperature, the magnetic penetration depth adjusts in a predictable way. These relations help scientists understand the microscopic behavior of superconductors and predict how their properties vary with temperature, guiding the development of materials with desired superconducting traits.
