I don't have a great understanding of quantum mechanics but i have been learning about superconductors at school. We've learned about cooper pairs and how they are attracted and about their boson-like behaviour. But there's one question that i can't completely answer and whilst looking on the internet i got a couple of contrasting and undefined answers.
What exactly happens to the unpaired electrons in superconductors?
i know a couple of things such as they are influenced by the electric field and have no resistance. I have also read they are to do with the bose-einstien fluids in superconductors which i don't quite understand. Also i read that they have their certain properties due to their interaction or relationship with positive holes created by cooper pairs (this i don't understand at all).
Any information or help on this topic is much appreciated.
Thanks
