Filamentary semiconductor nanocrystals exhibit novel electronic properties due to their large surface-to-volume ratio and strong one dimensional confinement. We intend to investigate the magnetic properties of ensembles of free-standing GaAs and InAs nanowires, grown on (111) Si substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. Due to doping, the nanowires contain charge carriers. At low temperature, magnetic quantum oscillations (de Haas-van Alphen effect) are expected which allow one to extract scattering times, electron densities, and information on electron-electron interaction. We report on our on-going experiment aiming at torque magnetometry on doped nanowires at 260 mK.
