h/2e oscillations and quantum chaos in ballistic Aharonov-Bohm billiards
Abstract
We study the quantum interference effect for the single ballistic Aharonov-Bohm billiard in the presence of a weak magnetic field B. The diagonal part of the wave-number averaged reflection coefficient δ RD is calculated by use of semi-classical scattering theory. In addition to the appearance of "h/2e oscillation" that are caused by interference between time-reversed coherent backscattering classical trajectories, B in the conducting region leads to negative magnetoresistance and dampening of the h/2e oscillation amplitude. The B dependence of the results reflects the underlying classical (chaotic and regular) dynamics.
