Abstract

We have observed electronic Knudsen and Poiseuille flow in a current heating experiment on electrostatically defined wires in (Al,Ga)As heterostructures. Current heating induces an increase in the number of electron-electron collisions in the wire, leading first to an increase (Knudsen regime) and subsequently to a decrease (due to Poiseuille electron flow, and known as the Gurzhi effect) of the resistance of the wire.
