The circuit theory of mesoscopic transport provides a unified framework to describe spin-dependent or superconductivity-related phenomena. We extend this theory to hybrid systems of normal metals, ferromagnets and superconductors. Our main…
The Ginzburg-Landau theory is used to model the order parameter of a finite-size mesoscopic ring to investigate the effects of the onset of screening currents on the transport of incoming ones. The magnetic flux breaks the symmetry of…

We study the influence of thermal fluctuations on the magnetic behavior of square mesoscopic superconductors. The strength of thermal fluctuations are parameterized using the Ginzburg number, which is small ($G_i \approx 10^{-10}$) in…
It is shown that in a structure consisting of a superconducting ring-shaped electrode overlapped by a normal metal contact through a thin oxide barrier, measurements of the tunnel current in magnetic field can probe persistent currents in…
Nanomechanics has brought mesoscopic physics into the world of vibrations. Because nanomechanical systems are small, fluctuations are significant, the vibrations become nonlinear already for comparatively small amplitudes, and new…
The magnetotropic susceptibility is the thermodynamic coefficient associated with the rotational anisotropy of the free energy in an external magnetic field, and is closely related to the magnetic susceptibility. It emerges naturally in…

Spin superfluidity, i.e., coherent spin transport mediated by topologically stable textures, is limited by parasitic anisotropies rooted in relativistic interactions and spatial inhomogeneities. Since structural disorder in amorphous…
A device consisted of a set of circular rings, the centers of which lie on an axis, behaves like a solenoid when the ratio of its radius and distance between two successive rings is greater than one. As this ratio decreases, the device…
