We have considered a system of a metallic ring coupled to two electron reservoirs. We show that in the presence of a transport current, the persistent current can flow in a ring, even in the absence of magnetic field. This is purely a…
We present an analysis of the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations for a mesoscopic ring with a quantum dot inserted in one of its arms. It is shown that microreversibility demands that the phase of the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations changes {\it…

Quantum tunneling of an electron through a classically forbidden regime has no classical analogue and several aspects of it are still not well understood. In this work we analyze electronic currents under the barrier. For this we consider a…

We consider an Aharonov-Bohm interferometer, connected to two electronic reservoirs, with a quantum dot embedded on one of its arms. We find a general expression for the persistent current at steady state, valid for the case where the…
An experiment that shows the modulation of the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations of magneto-resistance in a mesoscopic ring is described. Possible theoretical explanations of this modulation due to the interaction of the electron spin with the…
Persistent and radiation-induced currents in distorted narrow quantum rings are theoretically investigated. We show that ring distorsions can be described using a geometrical potential term. We analyse the effect of this term on the current…
