Abstract

The Ginzburg - Landau theory is used for the superconducting structures free energy fluctuations study. On its basis, we have defined the value of the heat capacity jump in the macroscopic zero-dimensional sample and in the zero-dimensional microstructures ensemble of the total volume equal to the macroscopic sample volume. The inference is made that in the Ginzburg - Landau methodology frameworks, it is essential to take into account the superconducting clean sample effective dimensionality only on the last stage of its thermodynamical characteristics calculation.
