    Level Correlations And Persistent Currents In Mesoscopic Metals

    Full text link
    We use the exact correlation function of the density of energy levels in the magnetic field to evaluate persistent currents in mesoscopic metals. We also analyze the perturbation theory limit of the correlation function vis-a-vis the perturbation theory limit of the orbital response.Comment: 10 pages revte

    Thermodynamics of Finite Quantum Systems: Application to Spin Magnetism II

    Full text link
    We extend our study of thermodynamics of a Kubo particle to temperatures smaller than the interlevel spacing. We obtain the distribution functions of spin susceptibility and heat capacity for Poisson and Wigner-Dyson level statistics. We evaluate the line shape of the Knight shift due to spin effects both in a single particle and for the ensemble average and compare it with orbital and spin-orbit contributions.Comment: 20 pages (16 text, 4 figures) uu-encoded, z-compressed PostScript.
