dc.descriptionBased on an exact solution of the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer type Hamiltonian on a spherical surface, we calculate the specific heat for the electron system with pair correlations on a sphere. We find that it is possible to extract from the specific heat a temperature above which many-body states with broken Cooper pairs get populated. Therefore, we define this temperature as the characteristic temperature signalling the onset of a BCS-type pair-correlated state for electrons on a spherical surface. Such spherical electron systems are realized in multielectron bubbles in liquid helium, for which the above-mentioned characteristic temperature is found to be of the order of 10-100 mK. Both the specific heat and the critical temperature show a pronounced (4-6%) odd-even parity effect that persists even for numbers of electrons as large as 10$^6$.
