We consider the case of broken time-reversal symmetry and obtain expressions for both the {\\em ensemble averaged} amplitude of the Coulomb blockade oscillations of the thermodynamic potential and the correlator of its {\\em mesoscopic fluctuations} for a finite mean level spacing $\\delta$ in the grain. We develop a novel method which allows for an exact evaluation of the functional integral arising from disorder averaging. The results and the method are applicable in the temperature range $\\delta \\ll T \\ll E_C$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2002-01-15T19:21:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "large conductance", "disordered metallic grain", "study coulomb blockade effects", "coulomb blockade oscillations", "finite mean level" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
