Abstract
We investigate fluctuations in the magnetoconductance of noble-metal n anostructures in a mesoscopic two-lead configuration. The samples are gold and silver wires with lengths 500 and 1000 nm and widths w betwee n 45 and 340 nm. The correlation field B-c varies as w(-1). Furthermor e, the angle theta between the direction of the magnetic field and the current is changed continuously from 90 degrees(usual geometry) to 0 degrees. The dependence of B-c on theta is weaker than B-c proportiona l to B-c perpendicular to/sin theta.
