At filling factor of 4/3, we inject power at quantum point contacts and detect the related heating from the activated current through a quantum dot. The experiment reveals a chargeless heat transport from a significant heating that occurs upstream of the power injection point, in the absence of a concomitant electrical current. By tuning in-situ the edge path, we show that the chargeless heat transport does not follow the reverse direction of the electrical current path along the edge. This unexpected heat conduction demonstrates a novel aspect, yet to be elucidated, of the physics in fractional quantum Hall systems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-07-04T23:06:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.43.Fj", "73.43.Lp", "73.23.Hk" ], "keywords": [ "fractional quantum hall regime", "chargeless heat transport", "fractional quantum hall systems", "unexpected heat conduction demonstrates", "electrical current" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2012, "month": "Jul", "volume": 109, "number": 2, "pages": "026803" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhRvL.109b6803A" } } }
