For 10 points -- name these groups that explain charge-carrier tunneling effects, paired electrons that form the basis of the BCS theory.
The normal mechanism of the formation of these is altered in Chevrel and A15 phases. Generally, their constituents are not physically near each other, but are closely related in momentum space. A proposed method of splitting them is to send them through a carbon nanotube to form a Luttinger liquid. Evidence of their existence was supplied by the isotope effect, and the exchange of phonons results from their coupling.
