Abstract
This chapter presents an excitonic conveyer—a moving lattice created by a set of seven independently controlled electrodes controlled by AC voltages to create a moving sine wave potential. The excitonic conveyer realizes controlled transport of excitons as charged coupled devices (CCD) realize controlled transport of electrons.
