Outline of Final Research Achievements |
An InSb quantum point contact (QPC) has been successfully fabricated in a two-dimensional InSb heterostructure by using a trench-type in-plane gate. The magneto-transport characteristics show crossings of the 1D subbands under an in-plane magnetic field. The QPC device shows the typical characteristics of parallel channels under asymmetric gate bias, suggesting electron accumulation along the side walls of the trench. We demonstrated that a triple-gated GaAs QPC produces the well-defined quantized conductance even using a relatively low mobility wafer. By using this QPC structure, we have successfully observed dynamic nuclear polarization in QPC and resistively-detected NMR. We also access a fundamental feature of InSb two-dimensional system, especially the simplest quantum Hall ferromagnet realized under tilted magnetic field. A newly observed reciprocity of the NMR response suggests an important role of the chiral edge channel for the dynamic nuclear polarization.
