A formula for the instantaneous pumped current is derived without introducing the scattering matrix. Our calculations indicate that some pumping cycles produce the maximum value 2 of pumped spin while others reverse the direction of current as a result of small alterations of the pumping cycle. We find pumping cycles which produce essentially any ratio of spin current to charge current.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-01-11T17:15:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "adiabatic quantum pumping", "charge current", "desired ratio", "generating pure spin current", "spin selective current" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
