Experimental Evidence of Fermi-Luttinger Liquid State.*

We have measured Coulomb drag between spatially separated parallel quantum wires, made on AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures by the split-gate technique, in the absence of tunneling to experimentally probe drag by small forward momentum transfer. Drag between wires of lengths 500 and 300 nm was measured in the one-dimensional transport regime at temperatures in the range 30 mK -- 1.2 K. We have observed both positive and negative drag. The temperature dependence of drag of both types is in excellent agreement with that predicted by the recently proposed Fermi-Luttinger liquid (FLL) theory that takes into account the curvature in the fermionic dispersion. Positive drag occurs when the curvature is positive, while negative drag occurs when it is negative.
