ABSTRACT
Using a recent time-of-flight measurement technique with 1 ps time resolution and electron-energy spectroscopy, we develop a method to measure the longitudinal-optical-phonon emission rate of hot electrons traveling along a depleted edge of a quantum Hall bar. Comparison to a single-particle model implies the scattering mechanism involves a two-step process via an intra-Landau-level transition. We show that this can be suppressed by control of the edge potential profile, and a scattering length >1 mm can be achieved, allowing the use of this system for scalable single-electron device applications.
