Abstract

The interference of electrons in mesoscopic rings in magnetic field is the origin of interesting effects on transport properties such as Aharonov-Bohm oscillations of magnetoresistance [1] and on equilibrium properties such as persistent currents [2]. Several theoretical approaches were developed for the treatment of these phenomena [3,4].
