We show than nonlocality of quantum transport can drastically affect the behaviour of the harmonics of magnetoconductance oscillations. Two different geometries are considered: the case of rings separated by long wires compared to the phase coherence length and the case of contacted rings. In a second part we discuss the role of decoherence due to electron-electron interaction in these two geometries.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-04-05T15:22:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "metallic rings", "electron-electron interaction", "magnetoconductance oscillations", "decoherence", "study weak localization" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0704.0742T" } } }
