Book cover Physics of Quantum Rings

Part of the book series: NanoScience and Technology ((NANO))

  • 1708 Accesses

Abstract

The physics of quantum rings is reviewed from basic concepts rooted in the quantum-mechanical paradigm—via unprecedented challenges brilliantly overcome by both theory and experiment—to promising application perspectives.

“The Ring is… not just a story…: it’s a cosmos.”

(R. Lepage about the tetralogy The Ring of the Nibelung of R. Wagner)

Notes

  1. 1.

    “… a magnet should be considered as an assembly of electric currents that occur in planes perpendicular to its axis…” (Translation by V. M. F.)

  2. 2.

    “…at each of the poles of a magnet, the electrical currents, of which it consists, are directed along concentric closed curves…” (Translation by V. M. F.)

  3. 3.

    “The susceptibility… corresponds to the induced currents that flow from one atom to another around the cyclic chain.” (Translation by V.M.F.)

  4. 4.

    “We can… say that the aromatic combinations behave as superconductors.” (Translation by V.M.F.)

  5. 5.

    “…an essential part of the current corresponding to the diamagnetic magnetization flows around the annulus; this current produces no Joule heat, as the population of states corresponds to the thermal equilibrium.” (Translation by V.M.F.)

  6. 6.

    “…a constant positive magnetization occurs to be suddenly added to the negative (diamagnetic) magnetization, and this is repeated after a certain increase in B.” (Translation by V.M.F.)
