▎ 摘  要

Based on the tight-binding model, the energy spectrum and persistent currents of mesoscopic graphene rings with armchair edges are studied analytically and numerically. Characters of the persistent currents changing with Aharonov-Bohm (A-B) magnetic flux in rings in different geometry are investigated in datail. The periodicity and special symmetry of energy spectrum and persistent currents changing with the magnetic flux are revealed. It is demonstrated that the persistent currents are determined by the geometric structures of the rings; the quantum states with small eigen-energies may carry much larger currents than those quantum states with eigen-energies far away from zero.
