Flux Dependence of Persistent Current in a Mesoscopic Disordered Tight Binding Ring | | J. Heinrichs

21 Jun 2001 | | Journal: | Int. J. Mod. Phys. B, 16 (2002) 593 | | Subject: | Mesoscopic Systems and Quantum Hall Effect | cond-mat.mes-hall | | Affiliation: | University of Liege, Belgium | | Abstract: | We reconsider the study of persistent currents in a disordered one-dimensional ring threaded by a magnetic flux, using he one-band tight-binding model for a ring of N-sites with random site energies. The secular equation for the eigenenergies expressed in terms of transfer matrices in the site representation is solved exactly to second order in a perturbation theory for weak disorder and fluxes differing from half-integer multiples of the elementary flux quantum. From the equilibrium currents associated with the one-electron eigenstates we derive closed analytic expressions for the disorder averaged persistent current for even and odd numbers, Ne, of electrons in the ground state. Explicit discussion for the half-filled band case confirms that the persistent current is flux periodic as in the absence of disorder, and that its amplitude is generally suppressed by the effect of the disorder. In comparison to previous results, based on an approximate analysis of the secular equation, the current suppression by disorder is strongly enhanced by a new flux-dependent factor. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0106437 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
