Large diamagnetic persistent currents

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

In multichannel rings, evanescent modes will always co-exist with propagating modes. The evanescent modes can carry a very large diamagnetic persistent current that can oscillate with energy and are very sensitive to impurity scattering. This provides a natural explanation for the large diamagnetic persistent currents observed in experiments.
