Garcia-Garcia, Antonio and Urbina, Juan Diego and Richter, Klaus and Yuzbashyan, Emil and Altshuler, Boris (2011) BCS superconductivity in metallic nanograins: Finite-size corrections, low-energy excitations, and robustness of shell effects. Physical Review B (PRB) 83, 014510.
We combine the BCS self-consistency condition, a semiclassical expansion for the spectral density and interaction matrix elements to describe analytically how the superconducting gap depends on the size and shape of a two- and three-dimensional superconducting grain. In chaotic grains mesoscopic fluctuations of the matrix elements lead to a smooth dependence of the order parameter on the ...
