Abstract

Vertically stacked quantum point contacts (QPCs) are prepared by atomic force microscope (AFM) lithography from an asymmetric GaAs/AlGaAs double quantum well (DQW) heterostructure. Top- and back-gate voltages are used to tune the tunnel-coupled QPCs, and back-gate bias cooling is employed to investigate coupled and decoupled one-dimensional (1D) modes. Parity dependent mode coupling is invoked by the particular asymmetry in the vertical DQW confinement.
