Superballistic electron flow through a point contact in a Ga[Al]As heterostructure

We measure electronic transport through point contacts in the high-mobility electron gas in a Ga[Al]As heterostructure at different temperatures and bulk electron densities. The conductance through all point contacts increases with increasing temperature in a temperature window around $T\sim 10K$ for all investigated electron densities and point contact widths. For high electron densities this conductance exceeds the fundamental ballistic limit (Sharvin limit). These observations are in agreement with a viscous electron transport model and previous experiments in graphene.
