چکیده
Bloch-like oscillations induced by charge discreteness in quantum mesoscopic rings. We study the effect of charge discreteness in a quantum mesoscopic ring wih inductance L. The ring is pierced by a time depending external magnetic field. When the external magnetic flux varies uniformly, the current induced in the ring oscillates with a frequency proportional to the charge discreteness and the flux variation. This phenomenon is very similar to the well known Bloch's oscillation in crystals. The similitude is related to the charge dis-creteness in the charge-current representation, which plays the same role as the constant lattice in crystals.

Complexity and Discreteness Criteria
Let G be a subgroup of PSL(2, C). The discreteness problem for G is the problem of determining whether or not G is discrete. In this paper we assume that all groups considered are non-elementary. If G is generated by two elements, A and B of PSL(2, C), we have what is called the two-generator discreteness problem. Two-generator groups are important because, by a result of Jorgensen, an arbitrar...
متن کاملSwitching Dynamics in Reaction Networks Induced by Molecular Discreteness
To study the fluctuations and dynamics in chemical reaction processes, stochastic differential equations based on the rate equation involving chemical concentrations are often adopted. When the number of molecules is very small, however, the discreteness in the number of molecules cannot be neglected since the number of molecules must be an integer. This discreteness can be important in biochem...
متن کاملMolecular discreteness in reaction-diffusion systems yields steady states not seen in the continuum limit.
We investigate the effects of the spatial discreteness of molecules in reaction-diffusion systems. It is found that discreteness within the so-called Kuramoto length can lead to a localization of molecules, resulting in novel steady states that do not exist in the continuous case. These states are analyzed theoretically as the fixed points of accelerated localized reactions, an approach that wa...
متن کاملTransition phenomena induced by internal noise and the discreteness
We study a simple chemical reaction system and effects of the internal noise. Although stochastic differential equations are often used in order to study the fluctuations, they can not treat the discreteness in the number of components (molecules, individuals, and so on) because they are based on the continuum approximation which is justified by the large system size. The discreteness of compon...
متن کاملMesoscopic circuits with charge discreteness: quantum transmission lines
We propose a quantum Hamiltonian for a transmission line with charge discreteness. The periodic line is composed of an inductance and a capacitance per cell. In every cell the charge operator satisfies a nonlinear equation of motion because of the discreteness of the charge. In the basis of one-energy per site, the spectrum can be calculated explicitly. We consider briefly the incorporation of ...
