Abstract

A new concept to form ballistic quantum wires based on a triple split gate structure on top of a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure is presented. Due to the flexibility in the design we propose this method, which would allow one to check the predictions of the Luttinger liquid model. The current-voltage characteristic of an embedded tunneling barrier in a 2 μm long ballistic quantum wire is also addressed in some detail.
