Proposals for quantum information applications are frequently based on the coherent manipulation of spins confined to quantum dots. For these applications, p-type III-V material systems promise a reduction of the hyperfine interaction while maintaining large g-factors and strong spin-orbit interaction. In this work, we study bottom-gated device architectures to realize single and serial multi-quantum dot systems in Schottky contacted p-type GaSb nanowires. We find that the effect of potentials applied to gate electrodes on the nanowire is highly localized to the immediate vicinity of the gate electrode only, which prevents the formation of double quantum dots with commonly used device architectures. We further study the transport properties of a single quantum dot induced by bottom-gating, find large gate-voltage dependent variations of the g∗-factors up to 8.1±0.2 as well as spin-orbit energies between 110-230μeV.
