Abstract

We consider adiabatic pumping of electrons through a quantum dot. There are two ways to operate the pump: to create a dc current Ī or to create a dc voltage V¯. We demonstrate that, for very slow pumping, Ī and V¯ are not simply related via the dc conductance G as Ī=V¯G. For the case of a chaotic quantum dot, we consider the statistical distribution of V¯GĪ. Results are presented for the limiting cases of a dot with single-channel and with multichannel point contacts.
