The detailed analytical and numerical analysis of the electron spectrum, persistent currents, and their densities for an annulus placed in a constant magnetic field (Corbino disk geometry) is presented. We calculate the current density profiles and study their dependence on the inner and outer radii of the annular. We study evolution of the persistent currents and track their emergence and decay for different limiting cases of such a geometry, starting from a nanodot and ending by a macroscopic circle. Our analytical results for the currents are confirmed by the agreement between the integration of the corresponding current densities and the application of the Byers-Yang formula, when it is applicable. Among other results we find the general expression for the persistent current in a narrow annulus, which in the one channel approximation reproduces the well-known result for quasi-one dimensional mesoscopic metallic ring. Moreover it allows to analyze the multi-channel case of a relatively wide annulus. Our study can be used for more accurate treatment and interpretation of the experimental data with measurements of the persistent currents in different doubly-connected systems.

We propose a Corbino-disk geometry of a graphene membrane under out-of-plane strain deformations as a convenient path to detect pseudo-magnetic and electric fields via electronic transport. The three-fold symmetric pseudo-magnetic field changes sign
six times as function of angle, leading to snake states connecting the inner and outer contacts and to nearly quantized transport. For dynamical strain obtained upon AC gating, the system supports an AC pseudo-electric field which, in the presence of the pseudo-magnetic field, produces a net electronic charge current in the absence of an external voltage, via a pseudo-Hall effect.
We have measured the diffusion thermopower of a quantum Hall system in a Corbino setup. A concentric electron-temperature gradient is introduced by irradiating microwaves, via a coplanar waveguide, near the outer rim of a circular mesa of a two-dimen
sional electron gas. The resulting radial thermovoltages exhibit sawtooth-like oscillations with the magnetic field, taking large positive (negative) values just below (above) integer fillings with sign reversal at the center of the quantum Hall plateaus. The behavior is in agreement with a recent theory [Y. Barlas and K. Yang: Phys. Rev. B 85 (2012) 195107], which treats disorder within the self-consistent Born approximation.
We have measured magnetoresistance of suspended graphene in the Corbino geometry at magnetic fields up to $B=0.15,$T, i.e., in a regime uninfluenced by Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations. The low-temperature relative magnetotoresistance $[R(B)-R(0)]/R(0)
$ amounts to $4000 B^2% $ at the Dirac point ($B$ in Tesla), with a quite weak temperature dependence below $30,$K. A decrease in the relative magnetoresistance by a factor of two is found when charge carrier density is increased to $|n| simeq 3 times 10^{-10}$ cm$^{-2}$. The gate dependence of the magnetoresistance allows us to characterize the role of scattering on long-range (Coulomb impurities, ripples) and short-range potential, as well as to separate the bulk resistance from the contact one. Furthermore, we find a shift in the position of the charge neutrality point with increasing magnetic field, which suggests that magnetic field changes the screening of Coulomb impurities around the Dirac point. The current noise of our device amounts to $10^{-23}$ A$^2$/$sqrt{textrm{Hz}}$ at $1,$kHz at $4,$K, which corresponds to a magnetic field sensitivity of $60$ nT/$sqrt{textrm{Hz}}$ in a background field of $0.15,$T.
In this work, we investigate the spectra in an Aharonov-Bohm quantum-ring interferometer forming a Josephson junction between two topological superconductors (TSC) nanowires. The TSCs host Majorana bound states at their edges, and both the magnetic f
lux and the superconducting phase difference between the TSCs are used as control parameters. We use a tight-binding approach to model the quantum ring coupled to both TSCs, described by the Kitaev effective Hamiltonian. We solve the problem by means of exact numerical diagonalization of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) Hamiltonian and obtain the spectra for two sizes of the quantum ring as a function of the magnetic flux and the phase difference between the TSCs. Depending on the size of the quantum ring and the coupling, the spectra display several patterns. Those are denoted as line, point and undulated nodes, together with flat bands, which are topologically protected. The first three patterns can be possibly detected by means of persistent and Josephson currents. Hence, our results could be useful to understand the spectra and their relation with the behavior of the current signals.
Using the Onsager relation between electric and heat transport coefficients, and considering the very different roles played by the quantum Hall condensate and quasiparticles in transport, we argue that near the center of a quantum Hall plateau therm
opower in a Corbino geometry measures {it entropy per quasiparticle per quasiparticle charge}. This relation indicates that thermopower measurement in a Corbino setup is a more direct measure of quasiparticle entropy than in a Hall bar. Treating disorder within the self-consistent Born approximation, we show through an explicit microscopic calculation that this relation holds on an integer quantum Hall plateau at low temperatures. Applying this to non-Abelian quantum Hall states, we argue that Corbino thermopower at sufficiently low temperature becomes temperature-independent, and measures the quantum dimension of non-Abelian quasiparticles that determines the topological entropy they carry.
