Using small cyclic variations of the tunneling rates of the barriers as the pumping mechanism, a current is obtained which depends sensitively on the system parameters and exhibits peaks due to Coulomb blockade. The distribution of the peak heights is found for temperatures $\\Gam \\ll k_{B} T \\ll \\Delta$, with $\\Gam$ the total decay width into the leads and $\\Delta$ the single-particle level spacing of the dot, and their average height is predicted to increase by a factor of $\\frac{5\\sqrt{2}}{18} \\pi \\approx 1.2$ upon breaking time-reversal symmetry. This is the pumping analog of the statistical theory of Coulomb blockade conductance peaks.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-10-18T09:30:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "coulomb blockade peak heights", "adiabatically pumped quantum dots", "statistical distribution", "coulomb blockade conductance peaks", "study adiabatic quantum" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
