Interference of electrons in backscattering through a quantum point contact

Scanning gate microscopy is used to locally investigate electron transport in a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas formed in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. Using quantum point contacts, we observe branches caused by electron backscattering decorated with interference fringes similar to previ...
