Charge Density Wave Ratchet

Abstract

We propose to operate a locally-gated charge density wave as an electron pump. Applying an oscillating gate potential with frequency f causes equally spaced plateaux in the sliding charge density wave current separated by I=2eNf, where N is the number of parallel chains. The effects of thermal noise are investigated.
