Abstract

It is shown that nanoparticles made of low $T_c$ superconductors have large diamagnetic response at temperatures several orders of magnitude above $T_c$ . Most features of the recently observed Giant diamagnetism of Au nanorods are explained in terms of superconducting fluctuations, except for the huge magnitude of the effect.
