We demonstrate that at low temperatures, interactions between electrons in different rings generate an additional phase and thus alter the period of Aharonov-Bohm oscillations. The resulting nondissipative drag depends strongly on the relative parity of the electron numbers. We also show that interactions set a new temperature scale below which the linear response theory does not apply at certain values of external flux.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1996-11-30T23:27:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "coulomb drag", "nondissipative drag depends", "electron dispersion relation", "concentric mesoscopic rings", "luttinger liquid theory" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
