Abstract
Frictional drag between isolated two-dimensional electron gases separated by a thin barrier has been observed at low temperatures in GaAs/AlGaAs double-quantum-well structures. Separate electrical connection to the two electron systems allows the injection of current into one and the detection of a small drag voltage across the other. The drag voltage is a direct measure of the interwell momentum relaxation rate. Measurements of this rate are in qualitative agreement with calculations of an interwell Coulomb scattering model.
