Transport properties of low-dimensional mesoscopic systems strongly differ from those of bulk materials. When the width of a conducting channel has the scale of the Fermi wavelength, these properties are dominated by the electron's wave characteristics and the channel is referred to as electronic waveguide. We investigate the heat transport through a one-dimensional quantum-wire ring structure fabricated from a AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure in the presence of an electron temperature gradient at 4.2 K. The temperature gradient is established by the current heating technique. The experimental setup [1] enables the measurement of the Johnson noise and thus the detection of a change in the electron temperature. A global top-gate allows the change of the waveguide's conductance. We present and discuss the results of the heat transport in dependence of the participating one-dimensional transport modes.
