Persistent currents with long-range hopping in 1D single-isolated-diffusive rings
Abstract
We show from exact calculations that a simple tight-binding Hamiltonian with diagonal disorder and long-range hopping integrals, falling off as a power $μ$ of the inter-site separation, correctly describes the experimentally observed amplitude (close to the value of an ordered ring) and flux-periodicity ($hc/e$) of persistent currents in single-isolated-diffusive normal metal rings of mesoscopic size. Long-range hopping integrals tend to delocalize the electrons even in the presence of disorder resulting orders of magnitude enhancement of persistent current relative to earliar predictions.
