Abstract

AbstractWe investigate systematically the effect of the electronic Coulomb interaction on the stochastic fluctuations (from sample to sample) in the persistent currents I(Φ) of mesoscopic rings threaded by a magnetic flux Φ. In contrast to our recent publication [Europhys. Lett. 18 (1992) 457], we avoid separation of impurity and interaction scattering events and we present here a comprehensive view. By this alternative procedure, we are able to confirm our earlier result, namely that 〈I2〉1/2 ∼ evF/L, which is a much larger quantity than the average current 〈I〉 ∼ evFl/L2.
