description

We generalize the decay cascade model of charge capture statistics for a tunable-barrier non-adiabatic electron pump dominated by the backtunneling error at the quantum dot decoupling stage. The energy scales controlling the competition between the thermal and the dynamical mechanisms for accurate trapped charge quantization are discussed. Empirical fitting formula incorporating quantum dot re-population errors due to particle-hole fluctuations in the source lead is suggested and tested against an exactly solvable rate equation model.
