We show how the orbital magnetization of an interacting disordered diffusive electron gas can be simply related to the magnetization of the non-interacting system having the same geometry. This result is applied to the persistent current of…
We show theoretically that strong electron coupling to circularly polarized photons in non-singly-connected nanostructures results in the appearance of an artificial gauge field that changes the electron phase. The effect arises from the…
Electron transport through a spin-orbit-coupled quantum ring is investigated within linear response theory. We show that the finite width of the ring results in the appearance of Fano resonances in the conductance. This turns out to be a…
The orbital motion of chargeless bosons, unlike that of electrons, does not generate a magnetic moment and thus cannot directly interact with magnetic fields. To formulate the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of magnons, we first identify its…
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…
The molecular states of conduction electrons in laterally coupled quantum rings are investigated theoretically. The states are shown to have a distinct magnetic field dependence, which gives rise to periodic fluctuations of the tunnel…
We identify theoretically the geometric phases of the electrons' spin that can be detected in measurements of charge and spin transport through Aharonov-Bohm interferometers threaded by a magnetic flux $\Phi$ (in units of the flux quantum)…
The magnetic Aharonov-Bohm (A-B) effect occurs when a point charge interacts with a line of magnetic flux, while its dual, the Aharonov-Casher (A-C) effect, occurs when a magnetic moment interacts with a line of charge. For the two…
(BEDT-TTF)$_2$MHg(SCN)$_4$[M:K,Rb,Tl] shows typical two-dimensional angular dependent magnetoresistance oscillation (ADMRO) at high temperature (T$>$8K), but at lower temperature it shows anomalously large magnetoresistance, and the ADMRO…
We investigate experimentally transport through ring-shaped devices etched in graphene and observe clear Aharonov-Bohm conductance oscillations. The temperature dependence of the oscillation amplitude indicates that below 1 K the phase…

Recently, Berry phase in the semiclassical dynamical of Bloch electrons has been found to make a correction to the phase-space density of states and a general multi-band formula for finite-temperature orbital magnetization has been given…
The microreversibility principle implies that the conductance of a two-terminal Aharonov-Bohm interferometer is an even function of the applied magnetic flux. Away from linear response, however, this symmetry is not fulfilled and the…
The Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect was convincingly demonstrated using a micro-sized toroidal magnet but it is almost always explained using an infinitely-long solenoid or an infinitely-long flux line. The main reason for this is that the formal…
The paper is devoted to the applications of the theory of dynamical systems to the theory of transport phenomena in metals in the presence of strong magnetic fields. More precisely, we consider the connection between the geometry of the…
The Aharonov-Bohm effect allows one to demonstrate the physical meaningfulness of magnetic vector potential by passing the current in zero magnetic field regions. In the standard (a {\em two-slit-like}) setup a conducting ring is pierced by…
It is proved that the phase shift of a polarized neutron interacting with a spatially uniform time-dependent magnetic field, demonstrates the same physical principles as the magnetic Aharonov-Bohm effect. The crucial role of inert objects…
We have measured highly visible Aharonov-Bohm (AB) oscillations in a ring structure defined by local anodic oxidation on a p-type GaAs heterostructure with strong spin-orbit interactions. Clear beating patterns observed in the raw data can…
