Current noise in ac-driven nanoscale conductors.

چکیده
The theory for current fluctuations in ac-driven transport through nanoscale systems is put forward. By use of a generalized, non-Hermitian Floquet theory we derive novel explicit expressions for the time-averaged current and the zero-frequency component of the power spectrum of current fluctuations. A distinct suppression of both the zero-frequency noise and the dc current occurs for suitably tailored ac fields. The relative level of transport noise, being characterized by a Fano factor, can selectively be manipulated by ac sources; in particular, it exhibits both characteristic maxima and minima near current suppression.

Shot-noise control in ac-driven nanoscale conductors
We derive within a time-dependent scattering formalism expressions for both the current through ac-driven nanoscale conductors and its fluctuations. The results for the time-dependent current, its time average, and, above all, the driven shot-noise properties assume an explicit and serviceable form by relating the propagator to a non-Hermitian Floquet theory. The driven noise cannot be expresse...
متن کاملTransport suppression in heterostructures driven by an ac gate voltage
We explore the possibility of inducing in heterostructures driven by an ac gate voltage the coherent current suppression recently found for nanoscale conductors in oscillating fields. The destruction of current is fairly independent of the transport voltage, but can be controlled by the driving amplitude and frequency. Within a tight-binding approximation, we obtain analytical results for the a...
متن کاملCorrelations between charge and energy current in ac-driven coherent conductors
We study transport in coherent conductors driven by a time-periodic bias voltage. We present results of the charge and energy noise and complement them by a study of the mixed noise, namely the zero-frequency correlator between charge and energy current. The mixed noise presents interference contributions and transport contributions, showing features different from those of charge and energy no...
متن کاملDriven quantum transport on the nanoscale
We explore the prospects to control by use of time-dependent fields quantum transport phenomena in nanoscale systems. In particular, we study for driven conductors the electron current and its noise properties. We review recent corresponding theoretical descriptions which are based on Floquet theory. Alternative approaches, as well as various limiting approximation schemes are investigated and ...
متن کاملShot noise in non-adiabatically driven nanoscale conductors
We investigate the noise properties of pump currents through molecular wires and coupled quantum dots. As a model we employ a two level system that is connected to electron reservoirs and is non-adiabatically driven. Concerning the electron-electron interaction, we focus on two limits: non-interacting electrons and strong Coulomb repulsion. While the former case is treated within a Floquet scat...
