Pumping current of a Luttinger liquid with finite length
We study transport properties in a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid in the presence
of two time-dependent point like weak impurities, taking into account
finite-length effects. By employing analytical methods and performing a
perturbation theory, we compute the backscattering pumping current (I_bs) in
different regimes which can be established in relation to the oscillatory
frequency of the impurities and to the frequency related to the length and the
renormalized velocity (by the electron-electron interactions) of the charge
density modes. We investigate the role played by the spatial position of the
impurity potentials. We also show how the previous infinite length results for
I_bs are modified by the finite size of the system.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure
