摘要
We have investigated conductance spectrum through a quantum point contact in a fractional quantum Hall liquid. The width of resonant peaks near the pinch-off shows temperature dependence suggestive of a non-Fermi liquid nature of the edge channel. Observation of well-defined fractional plateaus corresponding to filling factors different from the bulk implies complicated multiple edge channel structure for a smooth confinement.
