We show that quasi-bound electron states are formed in a quantum wire as a result of electron backscattering in the transition regions between the wire and the electron reservoirs, to which the wire is coupled. The backscattering mechanism…
Coulomb drag experiments have been an essential tool to study strongly interacting low-dimensional systems. Historically, this effect has been explained in terms of momentum transfer between electrons in the active and the passive layer.…
