38. Strictly speaking there is a way to avoid plasmon backscattering in a conventional 2D dot connected to a 1D wire, in spite of the inevitable discontinuity in g. The trick consists of tuning the density of electrons in the 2D dot in such a way that the Fermi velocity in the dot matches the plasmon propagation velocity in the 1D wire. However, this requires substantial fine tuning.
