On the quantization accuracy of the acoustoelectric current

arXiv:0807.2586 · doi:10.1016/j.ssc.2009.09.045

Abstract

By deriving analytical formulae for the quantization accuracy of the acoustoelectric current, we reveal that: 1) the flatness of the current plateau for the typical present devices has reached the theoretical limit of about 100ppm over a 1/1000 change of the gate voltage; 2) increasing the transport channel length, and counterintuitively, increasing the acoustic wavelength as well, would improve the quantization accuracy, and very promisingly up to 0.01ppm as required for a quantum current standard.
