M. Daumens et al., LITTLE-PARKS EFFECT FOR ARBITRARY GEOMETRY - FLUCTUATIONS OF THE MAGNETIC-MOMENT OF MESOSCOPIC LOOPS, Physics letters. A, 248(5-6), 1998, pp. 445-452
The Little-Parks effect is analytically deduced for a cylinder of an a
rbitrary section. A detailed analysis is performed for a case of ellip
tic sections with various eccentricities. Fluctuations of the magnetic
moment are calculated for a loop of an arbitrary shape in the critica
l and Gaussian regimes. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
