摘要: We have calculated the persistent current and conductance of a normal metal loop connected to two electron reservoirs in presence magnetic flux. The geometry considered here facilitates simultaneous measurement conductance. show that, general, magnitude depends on direction direct flow from one reservoir another, feature that can be experimentally verified.
