A narrow channel patterned in a novel GaAs heterostructure with tunable electron density is used to study the conductance of the electron gas in the very low-density regime where only a single one-dimensional subband is occupied. Periodic oscillations of the conductance versus density and nonlinearities in the conductance suggest the formation of a one-dimensional charge-density wave or Wigner crystal.
Meirav et al. (1989) studied this question.
