  • Abstract
    We present preliminary measurements of resistively detected nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in GaAs-AlGaAs quantum point contacts (QPC). Nuclear spins in the host crystal are polarized through the hyperfine interaction with carriers near the QPC; this polarization can be detected via the four-terminal resistance and manipulated with a radio-frequency magnetic field.
