摘要
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 delta is either large or small compared to the bulk gap Delta. We perform a numerical calculation which extends their results to intermediate values of delta/h.
