Aharonov-Bohm Effect
    

This entry contributed by Leonardo Motta

An effect that occurs in small disordered metallic conductors and causes conductance fluctuations in small (nonsuperconducting) rings and wires. It arises from the presence of a vector potential produced by an applied magnetic field.
