Summary
Departures from the predictions of Mean Field Theory (MFT) are not usually observed because the region in temperature Tc over which the theory is invalid is very small for pure superconductors. The narrowness of this region results from the dependence of Tc on the inverse of the sixth power of the zero temperature value of the temperature dependent coherence length ξ(t). a parameter which measures the size of coherent superconducting regions, and is about 104 Å for pure superconductors. This relationship between ΔTc and ξ(0) is why in superfluid He4 critical phenomena are observed ξ(0) ~ 2Å) and why MFT works so well for pure superconductors.
