GONZALEZ, G. Single-electron Faraday generator in a rotating electric field. Rev. mex. fis. [online]. 2011, vol.57, n.6, pp.541-542. ISSN 0035-001X.

Recently, it was shown in Ref. 1 that single-electron tunneling (SET) oscillations were possible by rotating a conducting rod with a small tunnel juntion immerse in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of motion. The purpose of this letter is to show that SET oscillations can be enhanced by applying a rotating electric field in resonance with the rotational motion of the conducting rod.
