Cross-correlated measurements of thermal noise are performed to determine the electron temperature in nanopatterned channels of a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure at 4.2 K. Two-dimensional (2D) electron reservoirs are connected via an extended one-dimensional (1D) electron waveguide network. Hot electrons produced by a current Ih in a source 2D reservoir are transmitted through the ballistic 1D wave- guide and relax in a drain 2D reservoir. We find that the electron temperature increase ΔTe in the drain is proportional to the square of the heating current Ih, as expected from Joule’s law. We find that electron-phonon interaction is negligible for heat transport between 2D reservoirs at temperatures below 4.2 K. Furthermore, we demonstrate mode control of heat flow in the 1D electron waveguide by a top-gatevoltage [1].
