Orbital Magnetism in Disordered Mesoscopic Metals

Condensed Matter 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

The theory of orbital magnetism in disordered metals is reviewed, and extended to include a broad range of temperatures and fields. Sample-to-sample fluctuations in the orbital magnetic susceptibility are studied. In a given sample these fluctuations manifest themselves in aperiodic sample-specific oscillations of susceptibility and magnetization, when the strength of the magnetic field is changed.
