Injection of Ballistic Hot Electrons and Cool Holes in a Two-Dimensional Electron Gas
1990
Abstract We have constructed a novel magnetic spectrometer to study the dynamics of hot electrons and cool missing electron states injected by quantum point contacts in the two-dimensional electron gas of a GaAs-Al x Ga 1− x As heterostructure. The mean free path of these quasi-particles is found to be longer than recent theoretical estimates. The injection energy of the particles is found to be anomalously low as the point contact approaches pinch-off, and also for high bias voltages.
