We study weak localization effects in the ballistic regime as induced by man-made scatterers. Specular reflection of the electrons off these scatterers causes backscattered trajectories to occur, which interfere with their time-reversed path resulting in weak localization corrections to the resistan

β¦ Synopsis
We report on observations of coherent backscattering in open devices consisting of a quantum point contact and two reflector gates. The devices are fabricated in a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas system, and magnetotransport data are taken at a temperature of 385 mK. Unlike ballistic microstructures in which this effect has previously been measured, our devices are designed to yield many backscattered trajectories enclosing very similar areas. An array of these devices has been measured in order to average away magnetoconductance fluctuations.
