Persistent current in one-dimensional non-superconducting mesoscopic rings threaded by a slowly varying magnetic flux $\phi$ is studied based on the tight-binding model. The behavior of the persistent current is discussed in three aspects:…
In equilibrium, the number of conduction electrons in a solid substance depends on the conformation of the atoms in the substance. When a magnetic field is applied, it takes time for the system to come to a new equilibrium with a new…

Persistent currents can arise in normal-metal rings due to a magnetic flux threading the ring in equilibrium. However, can persistent currents arise in absence of magnetic flux in the same normal-metal rings? Yes they can but in a…
