Tóm tắt

The temperature dependence of the Knight shift is studied for normal as well as superconducting small particles. We take into account the discreteness of the energy levels and the spin-orbit coupling due to the particle surface. The theory is capable of explaining the size and temperature dependence of experimental data on Cu and superconducting Sn particles. The magnitude of the spin-orbit interaction is estimated for these particles by comparing the experimental results with the theory.
