The heaters rely on localized current injection into the 2DES, while the thermometers are based on the thermoelectric effect. In the $\\nu = 1$ integer quantized Hall state, a thermoelectric signal appears at an edge thermometer only when it is \"downstream,\" in the sense of electronic edge transport, from the heater. When the distance between the heater and the thermometer is increased, the thermoelectric signal is reduced, showing that the electrons cool as they propagate along the edge.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-10-17T21:33:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.43.-f", "44.10.+i", "73.23.-b" ], "keywords": [ "quantum hall regime", "chiral heat transport", "thermometer", "observation", "integer quantized hall state" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2009, "month": "Feb", "volume": 102, "number": 8, "pages": "086803" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009PhRvL.102h6803G" } } }
