"A thorough investigation was conducted into the six fundamental classes of two coupled Aharonov-Bohm rings that share a finite center common path, when the phase of the electron wave function was modulated by two distinct magnetic fluxes. The coupling is similar to two coupled atoms. The behavior of charge accumulation along the center common path or equivalently the bonding and anti-bonding of the two rings can be achieved as the two applied fluxes are varied. Thus when three external terminals are connected to such coupled rings, the behavior of the electron transport is divided into several classes depending on the …
