In the framework of four-band envelope-function formalism, developed earlier for spherical semiconductor nanocrystals, we study the electronic structure and optical properties of quantum-confined lead-salt (PbSe and PbS) nanowires (NWs)…
We report the study of quasi-ballistic electron transport in short FETs subjected to magnetic field. Spatial distributions of electron concentrations, velocities, Hall currents and voltages in the short FET channels are determined. The…
The realization of various qubit systems based on high-quality hybrid superconducting quantum devices, is often achieved using semiconductor nanowires. For such hybrid devices, a good coupling between the superconductor and the conducting…
Ambipolar transport is a commonly occurring theme in semimetals and semiconductors. Here we present an analytical formulation of the conductivity for a two-band system. Electron and hole carrier densities and their respective conductivities…
We report conductance measurements on multiwall carbon nanotubes in a perpendicular magnetic field. A gate electrode with large capacitance is used to considerably vary the nanotube Fermi level. This enables us to search for signatures of…
The DC and AC conductivities of the n-GaAs/AlAs heterostructure with two filled size quantization levels are studied within a wide magnetic field range. The electron spectrum of such heterostructure is characterized by two subbands…
We report on experimental evidence of the Berry phase accumulated by the charge carrier wave function in single-domain nanowires made from a (Ga,Mn)(As,P) diluted ferromagnetic semiconductor layer. Its signature on the mesoscopic transport…
We study electron transport through a domain wall in a ferromagnetic nanowire subject to spin-dependent scattering. A scattering matrix formalism is developed to address both coherent and incoherent transport properties. The coherent case…
We present transport measurements in superconductor-nanowire devices with a gated constriction forming a quantum point contact. Zero-bias features in tunneling spectroscopy appear at finite magnetic fields, and oscillate in amplitude and…
We report on possibility of charge current generation in nanowire made of two tunnel coupled one-dimensional electron waveguides by means of single magnetic pulse lasting up to 20 ps. Existence of interlayer tunnel coupling plays a crucial…
We report the magnetoresistance characteristics of one-dimensional electrons confined in a single InAs quantum well sandwiched between AlSb barriers. As a result of a novel nanofabrication scheme that utilizes a 3nm-shallow wet chemical…
Based on first-principles calculations we showed that superlattices of periodically repeated junctions of hydrogen saturated silicon nanowire segments having different lengths and diameters form multiple quantum well structures. The band…
Helical states can be measured through the observation of the reentrant behaviour, which is a dip in the conductance probed in semiconducting nanowires (NWs) with strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) under the presence of an external…
We present a comprehensive study of the properties of the off-resonant conductance spectrum in oligomer nanojunctions between graphitic electrodes. By employing first-principle-based methods and the Landauer approach of quantum transport,…
We report on low temperature (2-30K) electron transport and magneto-transport measurements of a chemically synthesized InAs nanowire. Both the temperature, T, and transverse magnetic field dependences of the nanowire conductance are…
Nanoscale size-effects drastically alter the fundamental properties of semiconductors. Here, we investigate the dominant role of quantum confinement in the field-effect device properties of free-standing InAs nanomembranes with varied…
Presented here is a nanowire model, consisting of coupled elastic membranes with the purpose of investigating thermal transport in quasi-one-dimensional quantum systems. The vibrations of each elastic membrane are quantized and the flow of…
In a one-dimensional ferromagnet-superconductor nanowire, magnetism can suppress superconductivity except where the Zeeman field is suppressed, for example domain wall superconductivity (DWS) near magnetic domain walls or…
We demonstrate that the magnetization in magnetic semiconductors exhibits nutational motion when subjected to an external magnetic field. This behavior originates from the splitting of the conduction-electron band which induces anisotropic,…
We report on magneto-transport measurements in InAs nanowires under large magnetic field (up to 55T), providing a direct spectroscopy of the 1D electronic band structure. Large modulations of the magneto-conductance mediated by an accurate…
