3. In principle, there is one more contribution to the interaction Hamiltonian. This is a "pairing interaction," which, if attractive, causes a superconducting instability at sufficiently low temperatures. We consider normal-metal nanoparticles for which the pairing interaction is small.

28. In the analysis of Refs. 9, 10, the orbital contribution to the g factors was omitted. Omitting the orbital contribution is questionable for grains in which small g factors are measured (g ∼0.2), since the orbital contribution to the g factor is predicted to saturate around g∼1 for strong spin-orbit scattering in ballistic nanoparticles (Ref. 15).
