Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) represent a unique system for exploring phenomena at the
nanoscale and are also expected to play a critical role in future electronic and optoelectronic …

In recent years, the ability of cold atom experiments to explore condensed-matter-related
questions has dramatically progressed. Transport experiments, in particular, have expanded …

We present transport measurements in superconductor-nanowire devices with a gated
constriction forming a quantum point contact. Zero-bias features in tunneling spectroscopy …

The spin field-effect transistor envisioned by Datta and Das opens a gateway to spin
information processing,. Although the coherent manipulation of electron spins in …

Starting with the simplest semiclassical approaches and ending with the description of
complex fully quantum-mechanical methods for quantum transport analysis of state-of-the …

Two-dimensional electron and hole gas systems, enabled through band structure design
and epitaxial growth on planar substrates, have served as key platforms for fundamental …

We report on measurements of quantum many-body modes in ballistic wires and their
dependence on Coulomb interactions, obtained by tunneling between two parallel wires in …

Besides the usual conductance plateaus at multiples of 2 e 2/h, quantum point contacts
typically show an extra plateau at∼ 0.7 (2 e 2/h), believed to arise from electron-electron …

Degeneracy and symmetry have a profound relation in quantum systems. Here, we report
gate-tunable subband degeneracy in PbTe nanowires with a nearly symmetric cross …

This text treats electronic transport in the regime where conventional textbook models are no
longer applicable, including the effect of electronic phase coherence, energy quantization …
