Abstract
We propose and demonstrate a static quantum dot on a potential hilltop to generate and analyze ballistic hot electrons along a quantum Hall edge channel well above the chemical potential. High-energy resolution associated with discrete energy levels is attractive for studying hot-electron dynamics. In particular, the energy distribution function of hot electrons weakly coupled to cold electrons is investigated to reveal spectral diffusion with energy relaxation. The analysis allows us to estimate the maximum energy exchange per scattering, which is a key parameter to describe interacting electrons in the edge channel.
