Single charge effects attract much attention with respect to possible applications as future transistor structures or for quantum cryptography. Here, surface acoustic wave mediated single charge transport through quantum dots (QDs) formed in a carbon nanotube (CNT) is presented. The CNT bridges metallic source and drain contacts on a piezoelectric host substrate, employing an acoustic alignment technique. The metal electrodes in contact with the nanotube provide tunnel barriers to the quasi one-dimensional electron system, hence forming a few QD in series due to the presence of defects within the CNT. The dynamic piezoelectric field associated with the surface wave leads to an acoustoelectric current through the system which turns out to be quantized like in a turnstile device.
