1D-Disordered Conductor with Loops Immersed in a Magnetic Field

Abstract

We investigate the conductance of a 1-D disordered conducting loop with two contacts, immersed in a magnetic flux. We show the appearance in this model of the Al'tshuler-Aronov-Spivak behaviour. We also investigate the case of a chain of loops distributed with finite density: in this case we show that the interference effects due to the presence of the loops can lead to the delocalization of the wave function.Comment: 8 pages; LaTeX; IFUM 463/FT; to appear in Phys.
