We calculate the canonical disorder averaged persistent current using the diagrammatic perturbation theory. It is shown that within the adiabatic regime the average current oscillates as a function of the geometric flux which is related to the Berry phase and the period becomes half the value of the case of a single one-dimensional ring. We also discuss the magnetic dephasing effect on the averaged current.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-08-30T10:42:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "disordered mesoscopic rings", "berry phase", "novel quantum interference effect", "canonical disorder averaged persistent current", "diagrammatic perturbation theory" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
