Heat-Driven Electron-Motion in a Nanoscale Electronic Circuit
JOURNAL OF THE PHYSICAL SOCIETY OF JAPAN(2021)
Abstract
(Received July 19, 2021; revised September 8, 2021; accepted October 11, 2021; published online October 26, 2021) We study the interaction between two closely spaced but electrically isolated quasi-one-dimensional electrical wires by a drag experiment. In this work we experimentally demonstrate the generation of current in an unbiased (drag) wire, which results from the interactions with a neighboring biased (drive) wire. The direction of the drag current depends on the length of the one-dimensional wire with respect to the position of the barrier in the drag wire. When we additionally form a potential barrier in the drive wire, the direction of the drag current is determined by the relative position of the two barriers. We interpret this behavior in terms of electron excitations by phonon-mediated interactions between the two wires in presence of the electron scattering inside the drive wire.
