  "abstract": "The nonlinear I-V characteristics of mesoscopic samples contain parts which are linear in the magnetic field and quadratic in the electric field. These contributions to the current are entirely due to the electron-electron interaction and consequently they are proportional to the electron-electron interaction constant. We present detailed calculations of the magnitude of the effect as a function of the temperature, and the direction of the magnetic field. We show that in the case of a magnetic field oriented parallel to the sample, the effect exists entirely due to spin-orbit scattering. The temperature dependence of the magnitude of the effect has an oscillating character with a characteristic period on the order of the temperature itself. We also clarify in this article the nature of the electron-electron interaction constant which determines the magnitude of the effect",
