Phase coherence, interference, and conductance quantization in a confined two-dimensional hole gas

Abstract
A system of two parallel constrictions in a two-dimensional hole gas has been studied. At zero magnetic-field conductance quantization is observed through the individual constrictions. At high magnetic fields Aharonov-Bohm oscillations result from resonant tunneling through states encircling the repulsive potential between the constrictions. The oscillations demonstrate directly phase-coherent transport of holes.
