Fabry-Pérot interference in a triple-gated quantum point contact
arXiv:1609.05006 · doi:10.1063/1.4964404
Abstract
We demonstrated that a triple-gated GaAs quantum point contact, which has an additional surface gate between a pair of split gates to strengthen the lateral confinement, produces the well-defined quantized conductance and Fabry-Pérot-type (FP-type) oscillations on it even using a relatively low mobility wafer. A one-dimensional phenomenological model potential was developed to explain the oscillatory behavior. By combining the model calculations and dc bias spectroscopy, we obtained detailed information about the energy scales of the oscillatory structures. The relationships between the FP-type oscillations and the anomaly below the first plateau will be addressed.
