2 D ec 2 00 8 Fractional periodic persistent current in a twisted normal metal loop : an exact result
نویسنده
چکیده
We explore a novel mechanism for control of periodicity in persistent current in a twisted normal metal loop threaded by a magnetic flux φ. A simple tight-binding model is used to describe the system. Quite interestingly we see that, depending on the number of twist p, the persistent current exhibits φ0/p (φ0 = ch/e, the elementary flux-quantum) periodicity. Such fractional periodicity provides a new finding in the study of persistent current. PACS No.: 73.23.Ra; 73.23.-b; 73.63.-b

Flux Periodicities in Loops of Nodal Superconductors
Supercurrents in superconducting flux threaded loops are expected to oscillate with the magnetic flux with a period of hc/2e. This is indeed true for s-wave superconductors larger than the coherence length ξ0. Here we show that for superconductors with gap nodes, there is no such strict condition for the supercurrent to be hc/2e rather than hc/e periodic. For nodal superconductors, the flux ind...
متن کامل2 00 6 Fractional diffusion in periodic potentials
Fractional, anomalous diffusion in space-periodic potentials is investigated. The analytical solution for the effective, fractional diffusion coefficient in an arbitrary periodic potential is obtained in closed form in terms of two quadratures. This theoretical result is corroborated by numerical simulations for different shapes of the periodic potential. Normal and fractional spreading process...
متن کاملA new fractional sub-equation method for solving the space-time fractional differential equations in mathematical physics
In this paper, a new fractional sub-equation method is proposed for finding exact solutions of fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) in the sense of modified Riemann-Liouville derivative. With the aid of symbolic computation, we choose the space-time fractional Zakharov-Kuznetsov-Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (ZKBBM) equation in mathematical physics with a source to illustrate the validity a...

The temperature inversion symmetry, for a non interacting super-symmetric ensemble, at finite volume, is studied. It is found that, the scaled free energy, f (ξ), is antisymmetric under temperature inversion transformation, i.e. f (ξ) = −ξ d f (1 ξ). This occurs for antiperiodic bosons and periodic fermions, in the compact dimension. On the contrary , for periodic bosons and antiperiodic fermio...

We first show that increasing trees are in bijection with set compositions, extending simultaneously a recent result on trees due to Chapoton and a classical result on increasing binary trees. We then consider algebraic structures on the linear span of set compositions (the twisted descent algebra). A number of new Hopf algebra structures (neither commutative or cocommutative) and of enveloping...
