Interference of proximity induced superconducting correlations in mesoscopic metallic rings is sensitive to the magnetic flux $\Phi$ inside these rings. This is the reason for magnetoconductance oscillations in such systems. We detected…
We show that at zero temperature the supercurrent through the superconductor - ferromagnetic metal - superconductor junctions does not decay exponentially with the thickness $L$ of the junction. At large $L$ it has a random sample-specific…
In this report we analyse three effects which may arise in a mesoscopic multiterminal S/N structure (two normal and two superconducting reservoirs). We show that the Josephson critical current is a non-monotonic function of a voltage…
We study a mesoscopic superconducting ring threaded by a magnetic flux when the single particle level spacing is not negligible. It is shown that, for a superconducting ring with even parity, the behavior of persistent current is equivalent…
Metallic ferromagnetism is in general an intermediate to strong coupling phenomenon. Since there do not exist systematic analytic methods to investigate such types of problems, the microscopic origin of metallic ferromagnetism is still not…

The effect of disorder on confined metallic cavities with an Aharonov-Bohm flux line is addressed. We find that, even deep in the diffusive regime, large values of persistent currents may arise for a wide variety of geometries. We present…
We show that in {\em ballistic} mesoscopic SNS junctions the period of critical current vs. magnetic flux dependence (magnetic interference pattern), $I_c(\Phi)$, changes {\em continuously and non-monotonically} from $\Phi_0$ to $2\Phi_0$…
We consider the mesoscopic normal persistent current (PC) in a very low-temperature superconductor with a bare transition temperature $T_c^0$ much smaller than the Thouless energy $E_c$. We show that in a rather broad range of pair-breaking…
We present a detailed theory of induced persistent current produced by hyperfine interaction in mesoscopic rings based on a 2D-electron (hole) gas in the absence of external magnetic field. The persistent current emerges due to combined…
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…
An interacting quantum dot inserted in a mesoscopic ring is investigated. A variational ansatz is employed to describe the ground state of the system in the presence of the Aharonov-Bohm flux. It is shown that, for even number of electrons…
We investigate the persistent current influenced by the spin fluctuations in a mesoscopic ring weakly coupled to a quantum dot. It is shown that the Kondo effect gives rise to some unusual features of the persistent current in the limit…
The currents at the terminals of a mesoscopic conductor are evaluated in the presence of slowly oscillating potentials applied to the contacts of the sample. The need to find a charge and current conserving solution to this dynamic current…
Two-dimensional (2D) crystals made of active particles were shown recently to be able to experience extremely large spontaneous deformations without melting. The root of this phenomenon was argued to lie in the time-persistence of the…
We study the effects of correlations on a one dimensional ring threaded by a uniform magnetic flux. In order to describe the interaction between particles, we work in the framework of the U $\infty$ Hubbard and $t$-$J$ models. We focus on…

The persistent current for a one-dimensional ring with two tunnel barriers is considered in the limit of weakly interacting electrons. In addition to a small off-resonance current, there are two kinds of resonant behavior; (i) a current…
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…
