چکیده

We have measured the persistent current in individual normal metal rings over a wide range of magnetic fields. From this data, we extract the first six cumulants of the single-ring persistent current distribution. Our results are consistent with the prediction that this distribution should be nearly Gaussian for diffusive metallic rings. This measurement highlights the sensitivity of persistent current to the mesoscopic fluctuations within a single isolated coherent volume.

Persistent currents in normal metal rings.

The authors have measured the magnetic response of 33 individual cold mesoscopic gold rings, one ring at a time. The response of some sufficiently small rings has a component that is periodic in the flux through the ring and is attributed to a persistent current. Its period is close to h/e, and its sign and amplitude vary between rings. The amplitude distribution agrees well with predictions fo...

بررسی اثرات شعاع داخلی و پهنا روی طیف انرژی و جریان پایا در حلقه های کوانتومی گرافینی هگزاگونال با لبه های زیگزاگ

  In this work, the effects of inner radius and width variation on energy spectrum and persistent current in hexagonal graphene quantum rings with zigzag edges have been studied by using the tight-binding model. Our investigation show that the energy spectra of these rings are grouped into subbands which each one consists of six coupled energy levels that separated by energy gaps. The pattern o...

Persistent current and low-field magnetic susceptibility in one-dimensional mesoscopic rings: Effect of long-range hopping

Persistent current and low-field magnetic susceptibility in single-channel normal metal rings threaded by a magnetic flux φ are investigated within the tight-binding framework considering long-range hopping of electrons in the shortest path. The higher order hopping integrals try to reduce the effect of disorder by delocalizing the energy eigenstates, and accordingly, current amplitude in disor...

Analysis of Grading Ring Design Parameters and Heat Sink Numbers Effect on Voltage Distribution and Leakage Current in Metal Oxide Surge Arrester

Metal oxide surge arresters (ZNO) are used widely in power system to protect equipments from over voltages. Non uniform potential distribution leads to the depressed service life and low safe reliability, so grading ring is applied on HV surge arrester order to uniform the electric field distribution. One of the problems of arresters is leakage current in power frequency that different paramet...

Diamagnetic persistent current in diffusive normal-metal rings.

We have measured a diamagnetic persistent current with flux periodicities of both h/e and h/2e in an array of thirty diffusive mesoscopic gold rings. At the lowest temperatures, the magnitudes of the currents per ring corresponding to the h/e- and h/2e-periodic responses are both comparable to the Thouless energy E(c) identical with Planck's over 2pi/tau(D), where tau(D) is the diffusion time. ...
