This article is a review of an area of solid state physics which has come to be known as
mesoscopic devices. These structures have an active region ranging in size from 100 AA to …

The authors review conductance effects in small samples at low temperatures where
quantum confinement and quantum interference are significant perturbations on the …

We study electron decoherence by measuring the temperature dependence of Aharonov-
Bohm (AB) oscillations in quasi-one-dimensional rings, etched in a high-mobility GaAs/Ga x …

We present an analysis of the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations for a mesoscopic ring with a
quantum dot inserted in one of its arms. It is shown that microreversibility demands that the …

We illustrate the relation between the scattering phase appearing in the Friedel sum rule
and the phase of the transmission amplitude for quantum scatterers connected to two one …

We have investigated the Aharonov-Bohm effect in a one-dimensional GaAs/Ga 0.7 Al 0.3
As ring at low-magnetic fields. The oscillatory magnetoconductance of these systems is …

Abstract The Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interference patterns in ring-shaped conductors are
usually dominated by random features. The amplitude of the oscillations is random from …

We propose a quasiparticle interferometer for experimentally confirming the predicted phase
interaction between a quasiparticle and a superconducting state at the superconductor …

Phase sensitivity and thermal dephasing in coherent electron transport in quasi-one-
dimensional (1D) waveguide rings of an asymmetric four-terminal geometry are studied by …

Quantum coherent properties of electrons can be studied in Aharonov-Bohm (AB)
interferometers. We investigate both experimentally and theoretically the transmission phase …
