Adiabatic pumping through interacting quantum dots.

چکیده
We present a general formalism to study adiabatic pumping through interacting quantum dots. We derive a formula that relates the pumped charge to the local, instantaneous Green's function of the dot. This formula is then applied to the infinite-U Anderson model for both weak and strong tunnel-coupling strengths.

In this paper, the nonlinear rate equations governing a quantum dot laser isused to simulate the transient as well as the steady-state behaviors of the laser.Computation results show that the rate equations are capable of simulating true behaviorof a quantum dot laser. Then, the pump rates of the rate equations (which show indirectelectrical pumping of the quantum dots through a wetting layer) ...
متن کاملQuantum pumping and rectification effects in interacting quantum dots
We derive a general formula for the pumped charge through an interacting quantum dot by the use of the Fisher-Lee relations within the scattering matrix approach. The pumped charge is related to the dot instantaneous Green’s function and to the time-derivative of the tunneling phase. The last contribution gives rise to an effective rectification term with important experimental implications. In...
متن کاملAdiabatic charge pumping through quantum dots in the Coulomb blockade regime
We investigate the influence of the Coulomb interaction on the adiabatic pumping current through a quantum dot. Using nonequilibrium Green’s functions techniques, we derive a general expression for the current based on the instantaneous Green’s function of the dot. We apply this formula to study the dependence of the charge pumped per cycle on the time-dependent pumping potentials. Motivated by...
متن کاملAdiabatic charge pumping in carbon nanotube quantum dots.
We investigate charge pumping in carbon nanotube quantum dots driven by the electric field of a surface acoustic wave. We find that, at small driving amplitudes, the pumped current reverses polarity as the conductance is tuned through a Coulomb blockade peak using a gate electrode. We study the behavior as a function of wave amplitude, frequency, and direction and develop a model in which our r...
متن کاملCharge pumping and photovoltaic effect in open quantum dots
We propose a random matrix theory to describe the influence of a time-dependent external field on electron transport through open quantum dots. We describe the generation of the current by an oscillating field for the dot, connected to two leads with equal chemical potentials. For low-frequency fields, our results correspond to adiabatic charge pumping. Finite current can be produced if the sys...
