Abstract
A large DC voltage response, which depends strongly on the number of o ccupied subbands, is observed when a quantum point contact is subjecte d to high-frequency (approximately THz) radiation. This signal is expl ained by rectification caused by the non-linear one-dimensional transp ort properties of the point contact.
