Ballistic transport of hot electrons in a quantum Hall edge channel is attractive for studying electronic analog of quantum optics, where the edge potential profile is an important parameter that governs the charge velocity and scattering by longitudinal-optical (LO) phonons. Here we use a parallel double gate to control the electric field of the edge potential, and investigate the ballistic length of the channel by using hot-electron spectroscopy. The ballistic length is significantly enhanced by reducing the LO phonon scattering rate in the tailored potential.

Hot electron transport in a quantum Hall edge channel of an AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure is studied by investigating the energy distribution function in the channel. Ballistic hot-electron transport, its optical-phonon replicas, weak electron-electron
scattering, and electron-hole excitation in the Fermi sea are clearly identified in the energy spectra. The optical-phonon scattering is analyzed to evaluate the edge potential profile. We find that the electron-electron scattering is significantly suppressed with increasing the hot-electrons energy well above the Fermi energy. This can be understood with suppressed Coulomb potential with longer distance for higher energy. The results suggest that the relaxation can be suppressed further by softening the edge potential. This is essential for studying non-interacting chiral transport over a long distance.
We theoretically study the inelastic scattering rate and the carrier mean free path for energetic hot electrons in graphene, including both electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions. Taking account of optical phonon emission and electron-ele
ctron scattering, we find that the inelastic scattering time $tau sim 10^{-2}-10^{-1} mathrm{ps}$ and the mean free path $l sim 10-10^2 mathrm{nm}$ for electron densities $n = 10^{12}-10^{13} mathrm{cm}^{-2}$. In particular, we find that the mean free path exhibits a finite jump at the phonon energy $200 mathrm{meV}$ due to electron-phonon interaction. Our results are directly applicable to device structures where ballistic transport is relevant with inelastic scattering dominating over elastic scattering.
We present low temperature transport measurements on double quantum dots in InAs nanowires grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy. Two dots in series are created by lithographically defined top-gates with a procedure involving no extra insulating
layer. We demonstrate the full tunability from strong to weak coupling between the dots. The quantum mechanical nature of the coupling leads to the formation of a molecular state extending over both dots. The excitation spectra of the individual dots are observable by their signatures in the nonlinear transport.
Graphene has evolved as a platform for quantum transport that can compete with the best and cleanest semiconductor systems. Recently, many interesting local properties of carrier transport in graphene have been investigated by various scanning probe
techniques. Here, we report on the observation of distinct electronic jets emanating from a narrow split-gate defined channel in bilayer graphene. We find that these jets, which are visible via their interference patterns, occur predominantly with an angle of 60{deg} between each other. This observation is related to the specific bandstructure of bilayer graphene, in particular trigonal warping, which leads to a valley-dependent selection of momenta for low-energy conduction channels. This experimental observation of electron jetting has consequences for carrier transport in graphene in general as well as for devices relying on ballistic and valley selective transport.
We use Scanning Gate Microscopy to demonstrate the presence of localized states arising from potential inhomogeneities in a 50nm-wide, gate-defined conducting channel in encapsulated bilayer graphene. When imaging the channel conductance under the in
fluence of a local tip-induced potential, we observe ellipses of enhanced conductance as a function of the tip position. These ellipses allow us to infer the location of the localized states and to study their dependence on the displacement field. For large displacement fields, we observe that localized states tend to occur halfway into the channel. All our observations can be well explained within the framework of stochastic Coulomb blockade.
