Abstract

In this study, we fabricated split gates on a back-gated undoped heterostructure to perform transport measurements on a quantum point contact (QPC). Using this back-gated QPC system, we obtained clear quantized conductance plateaus over a wide range of electron densities (1.2 × 10¹⁵ m^-2 to 3.3 × 10¹⁵ m^-2) without being affected by imperfections. We also observed a clear 0.7 G₀ (G₀ = 2e²/h) anomaly. The shape of the anomaly varies with electron density. Furthermore, the conductance value at which this anomaly appears is not precisely 0.7 G₀ but changes with electron density.
