Thermodynamics of small superconductors with fixed particle number    [PDF]

Danilo Gambacurta, Denis Lacroix
The Variation After Projection approach is applied for the first time to the
pairing hamiltonian to describe the thermodynamics of small systems with fixed
particle number. The minimization of the free energy is made by a direct
diagonalization of the entropy. The Variation After Projection applied at
finite temperature provides a perfect reproduction of the exact canonical
properties of odd or even systems from very low to high temperature.
