The fractional Aharonov-Bohm effect in mesoscopic rings

We study the effects of correlations on a one-dimensional ring threaded by a uniform magnetic flux. In order to describe the interaction between particles, we work in the framework of the U = ∞ Hubbard model and the t-J z and t-J z -J t models. We focus on the dilute limit. Our results suggest the p...

Sumario:We study the effects of correlations on a one-dimensional ring threaded by a uniform magnetic flux. In order to describe the interaction between particles, we work in the framework of the U = ∞ Hubbard model and the t-J z and t-J z -J t models. We focus on the dilute limit. Our results suggest the possibility that the persistent current has an anomalous periodicity φ 0 /p, where p is an integer in the range 2 ≤ p ≤ N e (N e is the number of particles in the ring and φ 0 is the flux quantum). We find that this result depends neither on disorder nor on the detailed form of the interaction, while there is still on-site infinite repulsion.
