Measurements of the slopes (ΔI/ΔVg)n of the acoustoelectric current plateaux In=nef for n=1 and 2 have been made, as a function of the bath temperature T in the range 0.3 to 4.2 K. Electrons, constrained in one-dimensional channels, are transported by a surface acoustic wave of frequency f≈2.8 GHz, generated by transducers deposited on a GaAs heterostructure. The channel width is controlled by the application of voltages Vg to Schottky gates also deposited on the heterostructure. The normalised slopes S=(ΔI/ΔVg)n/(ΔI/ΔVg)n−1→n are compared with those calculated using a model describing the device behaviour proposed by Flensberg et al. In this model S is related to an effective temperature Teff, which can be greater than T. The measurements indicate that for n=1, Teff has a minimum value of 1.65±0.1 K corresponding to a minimum value of S≈10−3.
