Typical persistent current ($I_{typ}$) in a normal metal ring with disorder due to random grain boundaries and rough edges is calculated microscopically. If disorder is due to the rough edges, a ballistic current $I_{typ}\simeq e v_F/L$ is…

Electronic resonances are states that are unstable towards loss of electrons. They play critical roles in high-energy environments across chemistry, physics, and biology but are also relevant to processes under ambient conditions that…

We demonstrate that persistent current in meso- and nanorings may fluctuate down to zero temperature provided the current operator does not commute with the total Hamiltonian of the system. For a model of a quantum particle on a ring we…
When focusing on a few essential bands in an effective description of a material to calculate observable quantities, the respective operators have to be adjusted accordingly. Ignoring contributions arising from integrating out remote bands…
We consider a bidimensional discrete annular cavity with surface roughness (SR) threaded by a magnetic flux. In the ballistic regime and at half filling, localized border-states show up. These border states contribute coherentely to the…
Persistent currents (PCs) in mesoscopic rings have been a subject of intense investigation since their proposal by B\"uttiker, Landauer, and Imry in 1983. In this paper, we explore the behavior of PC in spin-orbit coupled rings under the…
We show that in a ring-shaped Luttinger Liquid (LL) in contact with an electron reservoir --- the chemical potential in the ring being controlled by a gate voltage $V_g$ --- both the average ring charge and the persistent current in the…
We consider a magnetic impurity which interacts by hybridization with a system of weakly correlated electrons and determine the energy of the ground state by means of an 1/N_f expansion. The correlations among the conduction electrons are…
We study the effects of a magnetic impurity on the behavior of a $S=1/2$ spin chain. At T=0, both with and without an applied uniform magnetic field, an oscillating magnetization appears, whose decay with the distance from the impurity is…
