Abstract

We report on the size dependence of the amplitudes of Aharonov-Bohm (AB) as well as Altshuler-Aronov-Spivak (AAS) magnetoconductance oscillations in silver networks with anisotropic aspect ratio and for various sizes ranging from 10 to 10 6 plaquettes. We show that the amplitude of both AB and AAS oscillations exhibit an unexpected dependence as a function of number of plaquettes N when the smallest dimension of the network becomes smaller than the phase coherence length: in this case, the network can be considered as a fully coherent object (mesoscopic) in one direction, whereas macroscopic in the other.
