G. Bouzerar et al., PERSISTENT CURRENTS IN ONE-DIMENSIONAL DISORDERED RINGS OF INTERACTING ELECTRONS, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 49(12), 1994, pp. 8258-8262
We calculate the persistent current of one-dimensional rings of spinle
ss fermions with short-range interactions on a lattice with up to 20 s
ites, and in the presence of disorder, for various band fillings. We f
ind that both disorder and interactions always decrease the persistent
current by localizing the electrons. Away from half-filling, the inte
raction has a much stronger influence in the presence of disorder than
in the pure case.
