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 plateaus in the sliding charge density wave current separated by ΔI=2eNf, where N is the number of parallel chains. The effects of thermal noise are investigated.
