摘要
We study the influence of a magnetic impurity or ultrasmallquantum dot on the charge persistent current of a mesoscopicring. The system consists of electrons in a one-dimensionalring threaded by spin-dependent Aharonov–Bohm/Casher fluxes,coupled via an antiferromagnetic exchange interaction to alocalized electron. By passing to a basis of electron stateswith definite parities, the problem is mapped onto a Kondomodel for the even-parity channel plus free electrons in theodd-parity channel. The twisted boundary conditionsrepresenting the fluxes couple states of opposite parityunless the twist angles satisfy φα=fαπ,where fα are integers, with spin indexα=↑, ↓. For these special values ofφα, the model is solved exactly by a Bethe ansatz.Special cases are investigated in detail. In particular weshow that the charge stiffness in the caseφ↑=φ↓ is insensitive to the presenceof the magnetic impurity/quantum dot.
