Abstract

We investigate the properties of persistent charge current driven by magnetic flux in aquasi-periodic mesoscopic Fibonacci ring with Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbitinteractions. Within a tight-binding framework we work out individual state currentstogether with net current based on second-quantized approach. A significant enhancement ofcurrent is observed in presence of spin-orbit coupling and sometimes it becomes orders ofmagnitude higher compared to the spin-orbit interaction free Fibonacci ring. We alsoestablish a scaling relation of persistent current with ring size, associated with theFibonacci generation, from which one can directly estimate current for any arbitrary flux,even in presence of spin-orbit interaction, without doing numerical simulation. Thepresent analysis indeed gives a unique opportunity of determining persistent current andhas not been discussed so far.
