On the way to meet the experimental observation of persistent current in a mesoscopic cylinder: A mean field study

The behavior of persistent current in a mesoscopic cylinder threaded by an Aharonov-Bohm flux $ϕ$ is carefully investigated within a Hartree-Fock mean field approach. We examine the combined effect of second-neighbor hopping integral and Hubbard correlation on the enhancement of persistent current in presence of disorder. A significant change in current amplitude is observed compared to the traditional nearest-neighbor hopping model and the current amplitude becomes quite comparable to experimental realizations. Our analysis is found to exhibit several interesting results which have so far remained unaddressed.
