Persistent currents in n-fold twisted Moebius strips
Abstract
We investigate the influence of the topology on generic features of the persistent current in n-fold twisted Moebius strips formed of quasi one-dimensional mesoscopic rings, both for free electrons and in the weakly disordered regime. We find that there is no generic difference between the persistent current for untwisted rings and for Moebius strips with an arbitrary number of twists.
