Semiclassical theory of persistent current fluctuations in ballistic chaotic rings
نویسندگان
چکیده
The persistent current in a mesoscopic ring has a Gaussian distribution with small non-Gaussian corrections. Here we report a semiclassical calculation of the leading non-Gaussian correction, which is described by the three-point correlation function. The semiclassical approach is applicable to systems in which the electron dynamics is ballistic and chaotic, and includes the dependence on the Ehrenfest time. At small but finite Ehrenfest times, the non-Gaussian fluctuations are enhanced with respect to the limit of zero Ehrenfest time.

Orbital magnetism of classically chaotic quantum systems
– We employ orbital magnetic response functions as a tool to investigate fluxdependent spectral correlations of chaotic quantum dots in the ballistic regime. We compare for the first time results for the persistent current and susceptibility from a semiclassical theory (without adjustable parameters) with accurate quantum-mechanical calculations for the case of an ensemble of chaotic rings thre...
متن کاملQuantum Chaotic Scattering and Resistance Fluctuations in Mesoscopic Junctions
Using the semiclassical approximation we calculate the quantum fluctuations of the two-dimensional electronic scattering cross-section from three hard disks in a magnetic field. The three-disk billiard is a schematic model for a three-lead mesoscopic (ballistic) junction. As the magnetic field increases the classical trajectories in the three-disk billiard undergo a hyperbolic±non-hyperbolic tr...

We have measured the resistance versus magnetic field and Fermi energy for two stadium-shaped cavities in which chaotic scattering is expected. We fit the power spectra of the magnetoresistance fluctuations to semiclassical chaotic scattering theory and find a characteristic field which scales with cavity dimensions as predicted by classical simulations. Measurements of conductance versus Fermi...
متن کاملGauge-invariant theory for semiclassical magnetotransport through ballistic microstructures
Within the semiclassical theory of magnetotransport through ballistic cavities, fluctuations in the transmission amplitude and in the conductance originate from the Aharonov-Bohm phase of directed areas. We formulate the semiclassical transmission amplitude in gauge-invariant form. The gauge invariant phases can be visualized in terms of areas enclosed by classical paths, which consist of the r...
متن کاملSEMICLASSICAL THEORY OF h/e AHARONOV-BOHM OSCILLATION IN BALLISTIC REGIMES
We study the magneto-transport in Aharonov-Bohm (AB) billiards forming doubly connected structures. In these systems, non-averaged conductance oscillates as a function of magnetic flux with period h/e. We derive formulas of the correlation function C(∆φ) of the magneto-conductance for chaotic and regular AB billiards by use of the semiclassical theory. The different higher harmonics behaviors f...
