Electron-electron interactions in one- and three-dimensional mesoscopic disordered rings: a perturbative approach
arXiv:cond-mat/9412012 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.51.5582
Abstract
We have computed persistent currents in a disordered mesoscopic ring in the presence of small electron-electron interactions, treated in first order perturbation theory. We have investigated both a contact (Hubbard) and a nearest neighbour interaction in 1D and 3D. Our results show that a repulsive Hubbard interaction produces a paramagnetic contribution to the average current (whatever the dimension) and increases the value of the typical current. On the other hand, a nearest neighbour repulsive interaction results in a diamagnetic contribution in 1D and paramagnetic one in 3D, and tends to decrease the value of the typical current in any dimension. Our study is based on numerical simulations on the Anderson model and is justified analytically in the presence of very weak disorder. We have also investigated the influence of the amount of disorder and of the statistical (canonical or grand-canonical) ensemble.
