Abstract
We investigate time-dependent electron current through a quantum dot under external drive (pulses), coupled to leads at zero bias. Simple analytic expressions for current, generated by periodic pulses of any shape, are obtained without any use of the Floquet expansion. We demonstrate that the current, follows a local quench, displays the transient and steady-state behavior, which are described by the same universal function of an external drive. The results are applied for an analysis of the current generated by rectangular and linear form pulses, in comparison with ultra-fast pulses of very high amplitude. Our results are also applicable for study of On-Demand Single-Electron sources and laser driven junctions.
