Parity Effect in a Small Superconducting Particle

Superconductivity 2009-10-31 v2 Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics

Abstract

Matveev and Larkin calculated the parity effect on the ground state energy of a small superconducting particle in the regimes where the mean level spacing is either large or small compared to the bulk gap. We perform a numerical calculation which extends their results into the intermediate regime, where the level spacing is of the same order as the bulk gap.
