Imaging coherent electronwave flow in a two-dimensional electron gas
We measure the energy distribution of electrons passing through a two-dimensional electron gas using a scanning probe microscope. We present direct spatial images of coherent electron wave flow from a quantum point contact formed in a GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional electron gas using a liquid He cooled SPM. A negative voltage is placed on the tip, which creates a small region of depleted electrons...
متن کاملUniform semiclassical wave function for coherent two-dimensional electron flow.
We find a uniform semiclassical (SC) wave function describing coherent branched flow through a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), a phenomenon recently discovered by direct imaging of the current using scanned probed microscopy [M.A. Topinka, B.J. LeRoy, S.E.J. Shaw, E.J. Heller, R.M. Westervelt, K.D. Maranowski, and A.C. Gossard, Science 289, 2323 (2000)]. The formation of branches has been ...

متن کاملAbsolute negative resistance induced by directional electron-electron scattering in a two-dimensional electron gas.
A three-terminal device formed by two electrostatic barriers crossing an asymmetrically patterned two-dimensional electron gas displays an unusual potential depression at the middle contact, yielding absolute negative resistance. The device displays momentum and current transfer ratios that far exceed unity. The observed reversal of the current or potential in the middle terminal can be interpr...
متن کاملOptical dephasing of coherent intersubband transitions in a quasi-two-dimensional electron gas
We present a microscopic many-particle theory for the dephasing of coherent intersubband excitations in semiconductor quantum wells including carrier-carrier and carrier-phonon scattering and light propagation effects. The contributions of many-particle processes are nonadditive and thus cannot be treated separately. It is shown that due to nondiagonal correlation contributions, scattering rate...
