We study the Kondo temperature of a quantum dot embedded into one arm of an Aharonov-Bohm interferometer. The topology of a disordered or chaotic Aharanov-Bohm ring leads to a stochastic term in the scaling equation and in the…

We study the model of a noninteracting spinless electron gas confined to the two-dimensional localized surface of a cone in the presence of external magnetic fields. The localized region is characterized by an annular radial potential. We…

The Aharonov-Bohm effect is considered by most authors as a quantum effect, but a generally accepted explanation does not seem to be available. The phenomenon is studied here under the assumption that hypothetical electric dipole…

We study how finite size effects may appear when a quantum dot in the Kondo Coulomb blockade regime is embedded into a mesoscopic device with finite wires. These finite size effects appear when the size of the mesoscopic device containing…

We propose to measure Purcell effect by observing the current through a semeiconductor quantum dot embedded in a microcavity. An electron and a hole are injected separately into the quantum structure to form an exciton and then recombine…

The Fano resonance in quantum dots embedded in Aharonov-Bohm rings is examined theoretically, using two models of non-interacting electrons. The first model yields an analytical expression for the conductance G. G is written in an extended…

The strong sensitivity of the transmission phase through a quantum dot embedded into one arm of a two-wave Aharonov-Bohm interferometer to the Kondo effect is explained. The enhancement takes place because of the buildup of the exchange…

We investigate the persistent current in a hybrid Aharonov-Bohm ring - quantum dot system coupled to a reservoir which provides spin fluctuations. It is shown that the spin exchange interaction between the quantum dot and the reservoir…

Based on a recent proposal [O.P. Sushkov, Phys. Rev. B 64, 155319 (2001)], we relate the quantum conductance through a sample in which electrons are strongly correlated to the persistent current of a large ring, composed of the sample and a…

Measurements of the Little-Parks oscillations at measuring current much lower than the persistent current give unambiguous evidence of the dc current flowing against the force of the dc electric field because of the Aharonov-Bohm effect.…

Non-reciprocal hopping induces a synthetic magnetic flux which leads to the non-Hermitian Aharonov-Bohm effect. Since non-Hermitian Hamiltonians possess both real and imaginary eigenvalues, this effect allows the observation of real and…

We study resonant tunneling through a periodic square array of quantum dots sandwiched between modulation-doped quantum wells. If a magnetic field is applied parallel to the quantum dot plane, the tunneling current exhibits a highly complex…
