Berry phase induced persistent current in mesoscopic systems
Abstract
Since the discovery of the Berry phase, there has been much interest in the study of topological effects in the fields of quantum mechanics and condensed matter physics. In this paper we investigate the persistent charge current in mesoscopic disorderd rings and compute the disorder averaged persistent current using the diagrammatic method. We find that within the adiabatic regime the average current oscillates as a function of the geometric flux which is related to the Berry phase.
