The shot noise power spectrum of a quantum point contact structure is investigated based upon a time-dependent Landauer approach. The system is modeled by an open conducting channel coupled with two infinite reservoirs. When the channel length L ≫ ξ (the coherence length of an electron wave packet), all the channel states moving from source to drain are fully occupied while all the opposite ones are empty. Consequently, shot noise is suppressed to zero along with conductance quantization. For L ~ ξ, however, while the conductance is still well quantized, the shot noise is only partially suppressed to a nonzero fraction of its full level, in agreement with recent experimental data.

The conductance of a suspended quantum point contact fabricated from GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures with a two-dimensional electron gas, equipped with the in-plane side gates separated from the constriction using lithographical trenches, is studied. The conductance as a function of the gate voltages demonstrates unusual double-channel regime with independent channel’s conductance quantization: two side gates can drive the conductance of the separate channels independently. A possible electrostatic mechanism of the double-channel structure formation inside a single constriction is connected with the lateral redistribution of the low-mobility X-valley electrons contained in superlattice layers, resulting in the emergence of the potential barrier in the middle of quantum point contact, separating the conducting electrons into two channels, symmetrically shifted towards the lithographical trenches, defining the nanostructure geometry.
