We have investigated mesoscopic conductance fluctuations in a GaAs quantum well with five electrically quantised two-dimensional (2D) subbands occupied. The conductance fluctuations occur even in a magnetic field p~rallei to the plane. We attribute the fluctuations to rapid electron-impurity scatter

โฆ Synopsis
Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid theory is extended to multi-subband quasi-one-dimensional systems in order to apply it to a realistic model of quantum wires. We use standard thermal Green's method and discuss the temperature dependence of the conductivity. With this method we can treat the long-range coulomb interaction between electrons, and in this case the conductivity behaves like T ~, where c~ is roughly equal to the inverse of the number of the occupied subbands.

We study the low-temperature in-plane magnetoconductance of vertically coupled double quantum wires. Using a novel flip-chip technique, the wires are defined by two pairs of mutually aligned split gates on opposite sides of a โค1 micron thick AlGaAs/GaAs double quantum well heterostructure. We observ
