Abstract

We consider the transmission of electrons through a two-dimensional ballistic point contact in the low-conductance regime near the pinch-off region. The scattering of electrons by Friedel oscillations of charge density results in a contribution to the conductance proportional to the temperature. The sign of this linear term depends on the range of the electron–electron interaction and appears to be negative for the relevant experimental parameters.
