Pumping charge with ac magnetic fluxes and the dynamical breakdown of
Onsager symmetry
   [PDF]

María Florencia Ludovico, Liliana Arrachea
We study the transport properties of setups with one and two mesoscopic rings threaded by ac magnetic fluxes of the form \Phi(t)=\Phi^{dc} + \Phi^{ac} cos(\Omega_0 t + \delta) and connected to two different particle reservoirs. We analyze the conditions to generate a pumped dc current in the adiabatic regime. We also study the symmetry properties of the induced dc current as a function of the static component of the flux, \Phi^{dc}, with and without a dc bias voltage applied at the reservoirs. We analyze, in particular, the validity of the Onsager-Casimir relations for different configurations of the setups.
