  "abstract": "We propose the possibilities of designing nano-scale rectifiers using mesoscopic rings. A single mesoscopic ring is used for half-wave rectification, while full-wave rectification is achieved using two such rings and in both cases each ring is threaded by a time varying magnetic flux $\\phi$ which plays a central role in the rectification action. Within a tight-binding framework, all the calculations are done based on the Green's function formalism. We present numerical results for the two-terminal conductance and current which support the general features of half-wave and full-wave rectifications. The analysis may be helpful in fabricating mesoscopic or nano-scale rectifiers.",
