Quantum transport of the semiconductor pump: Due to an axial external field

Parametric semiconductor pump modulated by the external field is investigated. The pump center attaching to two normal leads is driven by the potentials formed in the interfaces. With the Floquet scattering matrix method, the pumped currents modulated by the parameters are studied. Results reveal that the charge and spin currents pumped from the system can be strengthen by the external field besides the potentials. Directed spin currents can be pumped more strongly than the charge currents, and even the pure spin currents can be achieved in some external field couplings to the pump parameters.
