The Effect of a Magnetic Field on the Acoustoelectric current in a Narrow Channel
Natalya A. Zimbovskaya, Godfrey Gumbs
Abstract
The effect of a perpendicular magnetic field on the quantized current induced by a surface acoustic wave in a quasi-1D channel is studied. The channel has been produced experimentally in a GaAs heterostructure by shallow etching techniques and by the application of a negative gate voltage to Schottky split gates. Commensurability oscillations of the quantized current in this constriction have been observed in the interval of current between quantized plateaus. The results can be understood in terms of a moving quantum dot with the electron in the dot tunneling into the adjacent two-dimensional region. The goal is to explain qualitatively the mechanism for the steplike nature of the acoustoelectric current as a function of gate voltage and the oscillations when a magnetic field is applied. A transfer Hamiltonian formalism is employed.
