Abstract

We report on the fabrication and electrical transport properties of gate-tunable superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs), made of semiconducting PbS nanowire contacted with PbIn superconducting electrodes. Applied with a magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the nano-hybrid SQUID, periodic oscillations of the critical current due to the flux quantization in SQUID are observed up to T = 4.0 K. Nonsinusoidal current-phase relationship is obtained as a function of temperature and gate voltage, which is consistent with a short and diffusive junction model.
