Superballistic flow of viscous electron fluid induced by microwave irradiation in quantum point contact
Abstract
We measure the resistance oscillation of quantum point contact (QPC) under microwave (MW) radiation. What is different from the common resistance oscillation induced by edge magnetoplasmon (EMP) is that at lower magnetic field (ω>ωc), photoconductance is positive (negative) with weak (strong) MW radiation. This transport phenomenon is proved to be related to superballistic flow of electrons through QPC. The distinction between the regions ω>ωc and ω<ωc is attributed to different absorption rate of MW radiation. Violent absorption occurs when cyclotron orbits or current domains are destroyed in QPC region.
