Current oscillations in a metallic ring threaded by a time-dependent magnetic flux

We study a mesoscopic metallic ring threaded by a magnetic flux which varies linearly in time (formula presented) with a formalism based in Baym-Kadanoff-Keldysh nonequilibrium Green functions. We propose a method to calculate the Green functions in real space and we consider an experimental setup t...
