Persistent currents in one dimension: the other side of Leggett's theorem
arXiv:0804.1689 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.106804
Abstract
We discuss the sign of the persistent current of N electrons in one dimensional rings. Using a topology argument, we establish lower bounds for the free energy in the presence of arbitrary electron-electron interactions and external potentials. Those bounds are the counterparts of upper bounds derived by Leggett. Rings with odd (even) numbers of polarized electrons are always diamagnetic (paramagnetic). We show that unpolarized electrons with N being a multiple of four exhibit either paramagnetic behavior or a superconductor-like current-phase relation.
