A theoretical <condensed matter physicist> who derived the <Ginzburg-Landau theory of superconductivity> from microscopic <BCS theory> near the transition <temperature>. His 1959 analysis identifies why the effective field couples with twice the charge of an <electron>: it describes <Cooper pairs>. This connects a useful macroscopic <order parameter> theory with the microscopic pairing mechanism and fixes its regime of validity.<Microscopic Derivation of the Ginzburg-Landau Equations in the Theory of Superconductivity by Lev Gor'kov>[p. 1364: abstract and microscopic starting equations near the critical temperature]{ref}
