Dynamic Magneto-Conductance Fluctuations and Oscillations in Mesoscopic Wires and Rings

Abstract

Using a finite-frequency recursive Green's function technique, we calculate the dynamic magneto-conductance fluctuations and oscillations in disordered mesoscopic normal metal systems, incorporating inter-particle Coulomb interactions within a self-consistent potential method. In a disordered metal wire, we observe ergodic behavior in the dynamic conductance fluctuations. At low $\omega$, the real part of the conductance fluctuations is essentially given by the dc universal conductance fluctuations while the imaginary part increases linearly from zero, but for $\omega$ greater than the Thouless energy and temperature, the fluctuations decrease as ${\omega }^{-1/2}$. Similar frequency-dependent behavior is found for the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations in a metal ring. However, the Al'tshuler-Aronov-Spivak oscillations, which predominate at high temperatures or in rings with many channels, are strongly suppressed at high frequencies, leading to interesting crossover effects in the $\omega$-dependence of the magneto-conductance oscillations.
