Abstract
Recently the Aharonov-Bohm effect was demonstrated1 in the conductivity of a double-quantum-well structure which is schematically illustrated in Fig. 1. The wells are symmetric and provide two alternative paths for a ballistic electron. Their presence introduces an effective quantum number such that the quantum- well-localized Landau states acquire phase factors2 where
