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 split away from zero bias as a
function of magnetic field and gate voltage. A crossover in magnetoconductance is
observed: Magnetic fields above∼ 0.5 T enhance conductance in the low-conductance
(tunneling) regime but suppress conductance in the high-conductance (multichannel) …
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 split away from zero bias as a function of magnetic field and gate voltage. A crossover in magnetoconductance is observed: Magnetic fields above 0.5 T enhance conductance in the low-conductance (tunneling) regime but suppress conductance in the high-conductance (multichannel) regime. We consider these results in the context of Majorana zero modes as well as alternatives, including the Kondo effect and analogs of 0.7 structure in a disordered nanowire.
