In a recent Letter, Bergsten and co-authors have studied the resistance oscillations with gate voltage and magnetic field in arrays of semiconductor rings and interpreted the oscillatory magnetic field dependence as Altshuler-Aronov-Spivak (AAS) oscillations and oscillatory dependence on gate voltage as the Aharonov-Casher (AC) effect. This Comment shows that Bergsten and co-authors incorrectly identified AAS effect as a source of resistance oscillations in magnetic field, that spin relaxation in their experimental setting is strong enough to destroy oscillatory effects of spin origin, and that the oscillations are caused by changes in carrier density and the Fermi energy by gate, and are unrelated to spin.
