Electron and spin interference in mesoscopic semiconductor systems is of fundamental interest for future spin- and quantum-based information technology. In this context, bottom-up device approaches such as templated self-assembled nanowires are particularly interesting.
Here we report on electron wave interference in GaAs/InAs core/shell nanowires grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Magnetotransport measurements were performed at 1.8 K and at magnetic fields up to 10 T. Additionally, gate voltage dependence of magnetotransport characteristics is investigated. Conductance oscillations are observed as a function of the magnetic field as well as the gate voltage. Fourier analysis of data suggests periodicity both in magnetic field and gate voltage. Further, phase-coherent transport properties of these nanowires are unravelled by applying the magnetic field in different orientations as well as by temperature dependent measurements.
