Abstract

An investigation is made of the magnetic response of nanostructures with cylindrical symmetry located in a longitudinal magnetic field. Analytic expressions are obtained for the magnetic moment of the nanostructures, cylinders and bracelets. It is shown that the magnetic moment describes Aharonov-Bohm oscillations. The profile of the oscillations and the position of the oscillation maxima are studied. In the limit T→0 the curves of the magnetic response as a function of the magnetic field flux contain “beak”-shaped kinks, and the positions of the points at which these kinks occur are determined. The temperature dependence of the magnetic response is studied and the influence of the spin-magnetic interaction on the magnetic response of the nanostructures is examined. It is shown that this interaction destroys the periodicity of the magnetic response with respect to flux and gives rise to a monotonic term in the response.
