Fermionic retro reflection, hole jets. and magnetic steering in 2D electron systems

POSTER

Abstract

The combination of fermion exclusion and momentum conservation leads to unusual dynamics in two-dimensional Fermi liquids. We show that the response of a 2D Fermi liquid to an injected beam of current includes hole jets centered at the backscattering direction. We propose a magnetotransport measurement to probe the angular structure of the hole jets.
