Abstract

In this Letter, we consider the adiabatic charge transport through a normal mesoscopic sample sandwiched by superconductors without modulation of local chemical potentials. The deformation of coherent quasiparticles in the normal metal in the presence of periodically changing phases in the superconductors leads to a charge transport. Both the magnitude and the phase dependence of the charge transferred per period through the sample strongly depend on temperature.
