Superballistic electron flow through a point contact in a Ga[Al]As heterostructure

چکیده
We measure electronic transport through point contacts in the high-mobility electron gas a Ga[Al]As heterostructure at different temperatures and bulk densities. The conductance all increases with increasing temperature window around $T \sim 10 K$ for investigated densities contact widths. For high this exceeds fundamental ballistic limit (Sharvin limit). These observations are agreement viscous model previous experiments graphene.

Imaging coherent electron flow from a quantum point contact
Scanning a charged tip above the two-dimensional electron gas inside a gallium arsenide/aluminum gallium arsenide nanostructure allows the coherent electron flow from the lowest quantized modes of a quantum point contact at liquid helium temperatures to be imaged. As the width of the quantum point contact is increased, its electrical conductance increases in quantized steps of 2 e(2)/h, where e...
متن کاملGaAs-GaAlAs Double-Heterostructure Injection Lasers with Distributed Feedback
GaAs-GaAlAs double-heterostructure distributed-feedback injection lasers are investigated a t temperatures between 80 and 150 K under pulsed operation. The optical feedback for laser oscillation is provided by a corrugated interface between the p-GaAs active layer and the pGaA1As layer. The corrugation is made by two methods, ion milling and chemical etching, and the latter method is found to g...
متن کاملSpin fluctuation effect on the electron transport through a quantum point contact
We construct a scattering formalism of electrons passing through a quantum point contact that explains the unusual temperature dependence of the 0.7 anomaly. The existence of pronounced fluctuations (“paramagnons”) induced by the exchange interaction in the region of constriction where the density is low and shortrange interaction is enhanced. The spin related backscattering of the electrons ca...
متن کاملTransistors – From Point Contact to Single Electron
The first solid state electron device was the metal-semiconductor rectifier discovered by Ferdinand Braun in 1874 even before the discovery of the electron! He found that mercury metal contacts on copper or iron sulphide gave non-linear currentvoltage characteristics. In 1904 J C Bose obtained a U.S patent for point contact rectifiers on Galena (PbS). He found that the direction of rectificatio...
متن کاملStability of branched flow from a quantum point contact.
In classically chaotic systems, small differences in initial conditions are exponentially magnified over time. However, it was observed experimentally that the (necessarily quantum) "branched flow" pattern of electron flux from a quantum point contact (QPC) traveling over a random background potential in two-dimensional electron gases remains substantially invariant to large changes in initial ...
