We present the findings of the quantized conductance in a modulated quantum
wire. The energy dependence of the transmission coefficient through a smoo
th and modulated quantum wire is analyzed to define the role of elastic bac
k scattering processes in the formation of the conductance oscillations and
the current staircase, We demonstrate the oscillations of 1D conductance p
lateaus as a function of drain-source voltage that are evidence of the inte
rference effects caused by varying the energy of ballistic holes in the mod
ulated quantum wire electrostatically created inside the silicon self-assem
bled quantum well.
