摘要
A dc electric current due to a flow of ultrasonic phonons through a quantum wire containing an isolated point impurity is analyzed theoretically. An explicit expression for the acoustoelectric (AE) current is obtained and its dependence on the chemical potential of the electron gas and the induction of the external magnetic field is investigated. It is shown that a point impurity may lead to a partial or complete destruction of the steplike structure of the AE current as a function of the chemical potential.
