We address the question of how the Aharonov-Bohm flux $\Phi_{AB}$ can affect the energy levels of graphene magnetic quantum dots (GMQDs) of radius $R$. To answer this question, we consider GMQDs induced by a magnetic field $B$ and subjected…
Magneto-transport properties are investigated in a binary alloy ring subjected to an Aharonov-Bohm (AB) flux \phi within a single-band non-interacting tight-binding framework. In the first part, we expose analytically the behavior of…
Motivated by a recent experiment by Buks et al. [Nature 391, 871 (1998)] we consider electron transport through an Aharonov-Bohm interferometer with a quantum dot in one of its arms. The quantum dot is coupled to a quantum system with a…
We investigate Aharonov-Bohm oscillations of the current through a strongly correlated quantum dot embedded in an arbitrary scattering geometry. Resonant-tunneling processes lead to a flux-dependent renormalization of the dot level. As a…

Quantum tunnelling is a common fundamental quantum-mechanical phenomenon that originates from the wave-like characteristics of quantum particles. Although the quantum-tunnelling effect was first observed 85 years ago, some questions…
The conductance of a point contact between two hopping insulators is expected to be dominated by the individual localized states in its vicinity. Here we study the additional effects due to an external magnetic field. Combined with the…
