Mesoscopic mechanism of adiabatic charge transport
arXiv:cond-mat/9809189 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.82.608
Abstract
We consider adiabatic charge transport through mesoscopic metallic samples caused by a periodically changing external potential. We find that both the amplitude and the sign of the charge transferred through a sample per period are random sample specific quantities. The characteristic magnitude of the charge is determined by the quantum interference.
