Quantum oscillations in mesoscopic rings and anomalous diffusion
We consider the weak localization correction to the conductance of a ring connected to a network. We analyze the harmonics content of the Al’tshuler-Aronov-Spivak (AAS) oscillations and we show that the presence of wires connected to the ring is responsible for a behaviour different from the one predicted by AAS. The physical origin of this behaviour is the anomalous diffusion of Brownian traje...
متن کاملPersistent currents in mesoscopic Hubbard rings with spin-orbit interaction.
The effect of spin-orbit interaction on persistent currents in mesoscopic Hubbard rings threaded by an Aharonov-Bohm flux is investigated putting stress on the orbital magnetism. The non-perturbative treatment of the spin-orbit interaction developed by Meir et al. is combined with the Bethe ansatz solution to deal with this problem exactly. We find that the interplay of spin-orbit interaction a...
متن کاملElectron Dephasing in Mesoscopic Metal Wires
The low-temperature behavior of the electron phase coherence time, τφ, in mesoscopic metal wires has been a subject of controversy recently. Whereas theory predicts that τφ(T ) in narrow wires should increase as T as the temperature T is lowered, many samples exhibit a saturation of τφ below about 1 K. We review here the experiments we have performed recently to address this issue. In particula...
متن کاملRecovery of the persistent current induced by the electron-electron interaction in mesoscopic metallic rings
Persistent currents in mesoscopic metallic rings induced by static magnetic fields are investigated by means of a Hamiltonian which incorporates diagonal disorder and the electron-electron interaction through a Hubbard term (U). Correlations are included up to second order perturbation theory which is shown to work accurately for U of the order of the hopping integral. If disorder is not very s...
متن کاملCoulomb drag in mesoscopic rings
We develop a Luttinger-liquid theory of the Coulomb drag of persistent currents flowing in concentric mesoscopic rings by incorporating nonlinear corrections to the electron dispersion relation. We demonstrate that at low temperatures, interactions between electrons in different rings generate an additional phase and thus alter the period of Aharonov-Bohm oscillations. The resulting nondissipat...
