In the ballistic regime and at half filling, localized border-states show up. These border states contribute coherentely to the persistent current and the magnitude of the typical current $I_{typ}$ is enhaced with respect to their value in the absence of confinement. This result is robust with respect to changes in the relevant lengths of the sample.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-11-01T19:43:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "surface roughness", "persistent current", "mesoscopic cavities", "bidimensional discrete annular cavity", "magnetic flux" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
