Theory of one-dimensional double-barrier quantum pump in two-frequency signal regime

Abstract

A one-dimensional system with two $\delta$-like barriers or wells bi-chromaticaly oscillating at frequencies $\omega$ and $2\omega$ is considered. The alternating signal leads to the direct current across the structure (even in a symmetric system). The properties of this quantum pump are studied in a wide range of the system parameters.
