Charge pumping is demonstrated with a simple setup using an impurity Anderson model under periodic modulation of reservoir temperatures. We derive a formula for a pumping charge analogous to Brouwer's formula for weak Coulomb interaction, and discuss its properties. The most significant difference from incoherent temperature-driven pumping is that there is a sign change of the pump current originating from the sign of a second derivative of a spectral function.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-01-21T21:01:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "coherent electron transport", "temperature-driven pumping", "weak coulomb interaction", "impurity anderson model", "study temperature-driven adiabatic" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160105812H" } } }
