Abstract
We have measured the nonequilibrium current noise in a ballistic one-dimensional wire which exhibits an additional conductance plateau at . The Fano factor shows a clear reduction on the 0.7 structure, and eventually vanishes upon applying a strong parallel magnetic field. These results provide experimental evidence that the 0.7 structure is associated with two conduction channels that have different transmission probabilities.
