Abstract

It is shown that nanoparticles made of very low-Tc superconductors have a large diamagnetic response at temperatures several orders of magnitude above Tc. Most of the features of the recently observed giant diamagnetism of Au nanorods are explained in terms of superconducting fluctuations, except for the huge magnitude of the effect.
