Cooper pair. Notice the difference: Theory predicts h/e. Measurement gives h/2e. This means that something must be wrong with the theory. It seems to suggest that, instead of a charge of e, the particle should have a charge of 2e. This is one of the evidence to suggest that the electrons might somehow be moving in pairs.

The Isotope Effect. If electrons repel each other, how can they form a pair? The clue: In 1950, the superconducting temperature of Mercury was found to be different for different isotopes of Mercury. Reynolds, et al, Physical Review, vol. 78 (1950) p. 487 The only difference between isotopes is the number of neutrons in the nuclei. This should not affect the conduction electrons!
