The properties of conductance in one-dimensional (1D) quantum wires are statistically investigated using an array of 256 lithographically-identical split gates, fabricated on a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. All the split gates are measured…
Ninety eight one-dimensional channels defined using split gates fabricated on a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure are measured during one cooldown at 1.4 K. The devices are arranged in an array on a single chip, and individually addressed using a…
We study the low-temperature transport properties of 1D quantum wires as the confinement strength V_conf and the carrier density n_1D are varied using a combination of split gates and a top gate in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures. At…
We apply density functional theory, in the local density approximation, to a quasi-one-dimensional electron gas in order to quantify the effect of Coulomb and correlation effects in modulating, and therefore patterning, the charge density…
Short length quantum wires (quantum contacts) exhibit a conductance structure at the value of conductance close to 0.7 \times 2e^2/h. The structure is also called the conductance anomaly. In longer contacts the structure evolves to the…
We report conductance measurements of a ballistic one-dimensional (1D) wire defined in the lower two-dimensional electron gas of a GaAs/AlGaAs double quantum well. At low temperatures there is an additional structure at $0.7(2e^2/h)$ in the…
We theoretically investigate a quasi-one-dimensional quantum wire, where the lowest two subbands are populated, in the presence of a helical magnetic field. We uncover a backscattering mechanism involving the helical magnetic field and…
We study the effect of Coulomb interactions on the conductance of a single-mode quantum wire connecting two bulk leads. When the density of electrons in the wire is very low, they arrange in a finite-length Wigner crystal. In this regime…
For unpolarized electrons in a clean quantum wire, density functional theory reveals a thermally activated suppression of conductance. The activation temperature T_A grows slowly (roughly quadratically) with gate voltage due to pinning of…
In one dimensional wires, fluctuations destroy superconducting long-range order and stiffness at finite temperatures; in an infinite wire, quasi-long range order and stiffness survive at zero temperature if the wire's dimensionless…
We study the transport of electrons through a long quantum wire connecting two bulk leads. As the electron density in the wire is lowered, the Coulomb interactions lead to short-range crystalline ordering of electrons. In this Wigner…
Zero length quantum wires (or point contacts) exhibit unexplained conductance structure close to 0.7 X 2e^2/h in the absence of an applied magnetic field. We have studied the density- and temperature-dependent conductance of…
We have studied ballistic transport in a 1D channel formed using surface gate techniques on a back-gated, high-mobility, bilayer 2D hole system. At millikelvin temperatures, robust conductance quantization is observed in the quantum wire…
We report measurements of the compressibility of a one-dimensional (1D) quantum wire, defined in the upper well of a GaAs/AlGaAs double quantum well heterostructure. A wire defined simultaneously in the lower well probes the ability of the…
One dimensional (1D) quantum wires exhibit a conductance feature near 0.7 x 2e^2/h in connection with many-body interactions involving the electron spin. With the possibility of exploiting this effect for novel spintronic device…
We have investigated the conductance of long quantum wires formed in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures. Using realistic fluctuation potentials from donor layers we have simulated numerically the conductance of four different kinds of wires.…
We study electron transport in quasi-one-dimensional wires at relatively weak electrostatic confinements, where the Coulomb interaction distorts the ground state, leading to the bifurcation of the electronic system into two rows. Evidence…
We present results on electron transport in quasi-one dimensional (1D) quantum wires in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures obtained using an asymmetric confinement potential. The variation of the energy levels of the spatially quantized states is…
Nonlinear electron transport in normally pinched-off quantum wires was studied. The wires were fabricated from AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures with high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas by electron beam lithography and following wet…
An existence of predominant symmetrical spin configuration (spin polarised phase) and "diluted" density of states (pseudo-gap) in a layer under the Fermi level in a quantum wire is predicted. The condition of cross-over from non-polarised…
