Due to the precise structural control, semiconductor nanowires provide a new class of nanoscale building blocks for a broad range of disciplines like quantum optics, electronics, nanosensing, and biotechnology. In this respect, InSb- based nanowires are very promising candidates for applications in spintronics and spin-based quantum information technology, owing to the fact that bulk InSb has a high electron mobility, a strong spin-orbit coupling and a narrow band gap (0.16 eV) at room temperature. The measured InSb nanowires were synthesized by using a physical vapor transport method with gold nanoparticles as a catalyst. The basic transport parameters, e.g., conductivity, electron concentration, and mobility were determined by performing current-voltage and back-gate field-effect measurements in the temperature range from 4.2 to 300 K. Universal conductance fluctuations were studied systematically by performing magnetotransport measurements at temperature down to 0.3 K. From the root-mean square of the fluctuation amplitude and from the correlation field Bc information on the phase-coherence length was obtained.
