摘要
Superconductivity in small metallic grains is carefully checked as their size is decreased to a few nm when the average level spacing d could be compared with the bulk gapΔ.Using random matrix theory to the mean field,we find that the average theoretical values of the critical level spacing for both odd and even numbers of electrons and the transition temperature Tc in three Gauss ensembles are quite different for those from the model of uniformly spaced levels.For Sz=1/2,as grain size is reduced,the transition temperature or the granular gap decreases monotonously,and the relation 2△(0)/kB T_(c)≤3.53 always exists.
