Persistent currents in one-dimensional disordered rings of interacting electrons
G. Bouzerar, Didier Poilblanc, Gilles Montambaux
We calculate the persistent current of one-dimensional rings of spinless fermions with short-range interactions on a lattice with up to 20 sites, and in the presence of disorder, for various band fillings. We find that both disorder and interactions always decrease the persistent current by localizing the electrons. Away from half-filling, the interaction has a much stronger influence in the presence of disorder than in the pure case.
