We discuss the Aharonov--Bohm effect in three and four dimensional non--compact lattice Abelian Higgs model. We show analytically that this effect leads to the long--range Coulomb interaction of the charged particles, which is confining in…
We consider a nanosystem connected to measurement probes via leads. When a magnetic flux is varied through a ring attached to one lead at a distance Lc from the nanosystem, the effective nanosystem transmission |ts|^2 exhibits Aharonov-Bohm…
Design of a Fabry-Perot (double point contact) interferometer to measure fractional quantum Hall effect quasiparticle charge properties, and in particular the 5/2 excitations, poses an important trade-off: the device size should be…

The stability of a Charge Density Wave (CDW) in a one-dimensional ring pierced by a Aharonov-Bohm flux is studied in a mean-field picture. It is found that the stability depends on the parity of the number $N$ of electrons. When the size of…
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…
We study the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect in two-dimensional mesoscopic frame in hole systems. We show that differing from the AB effect in electron systems, due to the presence of both the heavy hole and the light hole, the conductances not…

The Aharonov-Bohm and superradiant effect on the redaitive decay rate of an exciton in a quantum ring is studied. With the increasing of ring radius, the exciton decay rate is enhanced by superradiance, while the amplitude of AB oscillation…
Magnetic Aharonov-Bohm effect (AB effect) was studied in hundreds of papers starting with the seminal paper of Aharonov and Bohm [AB] published in 1959. We give a new proof of the magnetic Aharonov-Bohm effect without using the scattering…
Interferometry is a vital tool for studying fundamental features in the quantum Hall effect (QHE). For instance, Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interference in a quantum Hall interferometer can probe the wave-particle duality of electrons and…
We show that an Aharonov-Bohm (AB) ring with asymmetric electron injection can act as a coherent detector of electron dephasing. The presence of a dephasing source in one of the two arms of a moderately-to-highly asymmetric ring changes the…
Experimental study of quantum Hall corrals reveals Aharonov-Bohm-Like (ABL) oscillations. Unlike the Aharonov-Bohm effect which has a period of one flux quantum, $\Phi_{0}$, the ABL oscillations possess a flux period of $\Phi_{0}/f$, where…
