Viscous electron flow in mesoscopic two-dimensional electron gas

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...

Two-dimensional electron gas near full polarization

We establish the consistency of the Fermi liquid description and find a relation between the Fermi liquid constants for a two-dimensional electron system near the point of full polarization due to a parallel magnetic field H. Our results enable us to predict connections between different thermodynamic properties of the system. In particular, we find that near the point of full polarization Hc ,...

Absolute 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...
