We calculate the average persistent current in a normal conducting, mesoscopic ring in the diffusive regime. In the presence of magnetic impurities, a contribution to the persistent current is identified, which is related to fluctuations in…
Equilibrium persistent current carried by a small ferromagnet-metal loop is considered. This current is shown to be quasi periodic in temperature at low temperatures. The quasi period is determined mainly by the temperature dependence of…
Describing current in open quantum systems can be problematic due to the subtle interplay of quantum coherence and environmental noise. Probing the noise-induced current can be detrimental to the tunneling-induced current and vice versa. We…

Average persistent current over a set of diffusive metallic rings with fixed number of electrons is considered. We study the the case where the phase breaking time is much greater than an inverse average inter-level distance. In such a…
We report the first calculation of persistent current in two coupled rings which form a character ``8'' genus g=2 structure. We obtain an exact solution for the persistent current and investigated the exact solution numerically. For two…
We demonstrate that persistent currents can be induced in a quantum system in contact with a structured reservoir, without the need of any applied gauge field. The working principle of the mechanism leading to their presence is based on the…
A simplest model of the persistent current in presence of many-body interaction in a mesoscopic ring is presented. The Bethe ansatz approach is used to find exact solutions. Both cases in the absence of impurity and in the presence of…
A classical model is presented for persistent currents in superconductors. Their existence is argued to be warranted because their decay would violate the second law of thermodynamics. This conclusion is achieved by analyzing comparatively…
