Abstract
Waveforms of electron pairs in superconductors are investigated on the basi s of the atomic nature. According to the orbital function and a potential e nergy level for inner paired electrons in Thomas-Fermi-Dirac field, superco nducting pairing states are determined by atomic number and radius. The s- and d-wave pairings dominate for superconducting atoms with atomic numbers (Z) less and more than 29, respectively. However, for exotic superconductor s with crystal anisotropy and elemental superconductors of lacking crystal rigidity, when one wavefunction of multicomponent pair states crosses nodal surfaces of the orbital, the sign of the wavefunction changes, resulting i n the appearance of p- and s-wave pairings for atoms with Z between 11 and 28, and more than 29, respectively.
