Abstract
We studied the thermal conduction through a quantum point contact (QPC), defined in GaAs-AlGaAs heterostructure, in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. A shift in the position of thermo-voltage peak is observed with increasing field. The position of the thermo-voltage peak follows the Cutler-Mott relation in the small field regime (B < 0.5 T); it starts diverging from the Cutler-Mott relation in the moderate field regime, where a cubic magnetic field term dominates over the trivial quadratic term; eventually the shift saturates in the large field regime (B > 3.0 T). Our results suggest that additional calibration is necessary when using QPC as thermometry, especially when the transverse magnetic field is applied.
