Phys. Rev. Lett. 54, 2692–2695 (1985)Magnetoresistance Fluctuations in Mesoscopic Wires and RingsReceived 19 March 1985; published in the issue dated 24 June 1985 A simulation of the magnetoresistance of very small wires shows sample-specific, aperiodic structure due to the non-self-averaging nature of quasi-one-dimensional conductors in this size range. This explains earlier failures to observe flux-periodic magnetoresistance in very small rings. Analysis of the temperature and size dependence of the effect gives good agreement with experiment. A prediction is made for the experimental conditions in which oscillations periodic with flux hc/e will be observed. © 1985 The American Physical Society URL:
