When: 10 December, Wednesday at 16:30

Where: Lecture hall Beijing-1, Moscow School of Management

What:  Heat transport in a hand-made Luttinger liquid

Abstract:

In a popular-science manner, I will introduce a notion of one-dimensional electronic  Luttinger liquid. Unlike in higher-dimensional electronic systems, the energy and momentum conservation laws preclude thermal equilibration in such a system. To my best knowledge, this counter-intuitive prediction was so far not verified experimentally.

In this talk I will present recent experiments [1] on manipulation of heat flux in an artificial Luttinger liquid, based on counter-propagating quantum Hall edge channels in a two-dimensional system in GaAs. The role of collective excitations and their elastic scattering for the heat transport and equilibration will be discussed.
