Quantum-size electrostatic potential in two-dimensional ballistic point contacts
It is shown that in the strong-screening limit an electrostatic potential, which appears due to the quantization of the transverse motion of electrons, exists in a microscopic constriction. This effect increases the number of conducting one-dimensional subbands in the contact.
