Thomas et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 135 (1996)]. To provide further understanding of this structure, we have performed low-temperature measurements of a novel design of 1D channel with overlaying finger gates to study the 0.7 structure as a function of lateral confinement strength and potential profile. We found that the structure persists when the lateral confinement strength is changed by a factor of 2. We have also shown that the 0.7 structure present in two 1D channels in series behaves like a single 1D channel which shows the 0.7 structure, demonstrating that the 0.7 structure is not a transmission effect through a ballistic channel at zero in-plane magnetic field.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-07-24T14:48:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "clean one-dimensional channel", "spin-dependent transport", "lateral confinement strength", "zero in-plane magnetic field", "zero magnetic field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
