dependence on Coulomb interactions, obtained by tunneling between two parallel wires in …

Microbes, molecules, and marine ecosystems

F Azam, AZ Worden - Science, 2004 - science.org
1622 applying a large magnetic field, however, it is possible to lift the spin degeneracy,
thereby splitting the modes and giving rise to conductance plateaus at integer multiples of …

Conductance of a quantum wire in the Wigner-crystal regime

KA Matveev - Physical review letters, 2004 - APS
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 …

Wigner crystal physics in quantum wires

JS Meyer, KA Matveev - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
The physics of interacting quantum wires has attracted a lot of attention recently. When the
density of electrons in the wire is very low, the strong repulsion between electrons leads to …

Spontaneous spin polarization in quantum point contacts

LP Rokhinson, LN Pfeiffer, KW West - Physical review letters, 2006 - APS
We use spatial spin separation by a magnetic focusing technique to probe the polarization of
quantum point contacts. The point contacts are fabricated from p-type GaAs/AlGaAs …

Conductance of a quantum wire at low electron density

KA Matveev - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2004 - APS
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 …
