Abstract
We study adiabatic charge pumping through a quantum dot placed at the junction of quantum wires. We explicitly map out the pattern of pumped charge as a function of the time-varying tunneling parameters coupling the wires to the dot and the phase between any two time varying parameters controlling the shape of the dot. We find that with time-independent well-coupled leads, the maximum pumped charge in the remaining two leads is strongly suppressed with increasing , leading to the possibility of tuning of the pumped charge, by modulating the coupling of the leads.
