Since its original postulation by Wolfgang Pauli in 1930, the neutrino has played a
prominent role in our understanding of nuclear and particle physics. In the intervening 80 …

In this review article we describe spin-dependent transport in materials with spin–orbit
interaction of Rashba type. We mainly focus on semiconductor heterostructures, however we …

Majorana bound states are quasiparticle excitations localized at the boundaries of a
topologically nontrivial superconductor. They are zero-energy, charge-neutral, particle–hole …

Nanowires are natural one-dimensional channels and offer new opportunities for advanced
electronic quantum transport experiments. We review recent progress on the synthesis of …

A key concept in the emerging field of spintronics is the gate voltage or electric field control
of spin precession via the effective magnetic field generated by the Rashba spin–orbit …

We use magnetoconductance measurements in dual-gated InSb nanowire devices, together
with a theoretical analysis of weak antilocalization, to accurately extract spin-orbit strength …

III–V semiconductor nanowires have shown great potential in various quantum transport
experiments. However, realizing a scalable high-quality nanowire-based platform that could …

The combination of strong spin-orbit coupling, large g factors, and the coupling to a
superconductor can be used to create a topologically protected state in a semiconductor …

This review focuses on the emerging field of core–multishell (CMS) semiconductor
nanowires (NWs). In these kinds of wires, a NW grown vertically on a substrate acts as a …

One-dimensional (1D) electronic transport and induced superconductivity in semiconductor
nanostructures are crucial ingredients to realize topological superconductivity. Our approach …
