Torsion-induced persistent current in a twisted quantum ring

HANDLE Open Access

Abstract

We describe the effects of geometric torsion on the coherent motion of electrons along a thin twisted quantum ring. The geometric torsion inherent in the quantum ring triggers a quantum phase shift in the electrons' eigenstates, thereby resulting in a torsion-induced persistent current that flows along the twisted quantum ring. The physical conditions required for detecting the current flow are discussed.
