چکیده
Persistent currents in mesoscopic cavities and the effect of level crossings as random variables Abstract In the present article we perform analytical and numerical calculations related to persistent currents in 2D isolated mesoscopic annular cavities threaded by a magnetic flux. The system considered has a high number of open channels and therefore the single particle spectrum exhibits many level crossings as the flux varies. We determine the effect of the distribution of level crossings in the typical persistent current.

Screening of persistent currents in mesoscopic metal rings
The effect of the Coulomb-interaction on persistent currents in disordered mesoscopic metal rings threaded by a magnetic flux φ is studied numerically. We use the simplest form of self-consistent Hartree theory, where the spatial variations of the self-consistent Hartree potential are ignored. In this approximation the self-consistent Hartree energies are simply obtained by diagonalizing the no...
متن کامل2 1 Ja n 20 02 Persistent Currents versus Phase Breaking in Mesoscopic Metallic Samples
Persistent currents in mesoscopic normal metal rings represent, even a decade after their first experimental observation, a challenge to both, theorists and experimentalists. After giving a brief review of the existing – experimental and theoretical – results, we concentrate on the (proposed) relationship of the size of the persistent current to the phase breaking rate. In particular, we consid...
متن کاملEnhancement of Persistent Currents by Hubbard Interactions In Disordered 1D Rings: Avoided Level Crossings Interpretation
We study effects of local electron interactions on the persistent current of one dimensional disordered rings. For different realizations of disorder we compute the current as a function of Aharonov-Bohm flux to zeroth and first orders in the Hubbard interaction. We find that the persistent current is enhanced by onsite interactions. Using an avoided level crossings approach, we derive analytic...
متن کاملMesoscopic rings : two - fluid model
Kinetics of magnetic flux in the thin mesoscopic ring biased by an external magnetic flux exhibits the ratchet-like behavior. The 'flux velocity', i.e. the averaged time derivative of magnetic flux produced by the ring, is a candidate for a novel characteristics of mesoscopic rings. Its global properties reflect the possibility of accommodating persistent currents in the ring. 1 Mesoscopic ring...
متن کاملPersistent Currents in Helical Structures
Recent discovery of mesoscopic electronic structures, in particular the carbon nanotubes, made necessary an investigation of what effect may helical symmetry of the conductor (metal or semiconductor) have on the persistent current oscillations. We investigate persistent currents in helical structures which are non-decaying in time, not requiring a voltage bias, dissipationless stationary flow o...
