In GaAs/InAs core/shell nanowires the electrons are confined in the hollow cylindrical conductive InAs shell. The ring geometry of this InAs nanotube allows flux periodic modulation of the electron concentration in magneto-transport measurements, if a magnetic field is aligned alongside the nanowire axis. Magneto-oscillations with h/e periodicity are expected due to one-dimensional transport through angular momentum states, which are solutions to the Schrödinger equation for a radially confined system.
In this contribution, we present magneto-transport measurements of several GaAs/InAs core/shell nanowires of different dimensions. Pronounced oscillations with h/e periodicity are found in the magneto-conductance of all the wires. By variation of external parameters such as temperature, gate voltage and tilt angle with the magnetic field the underlying energetic spectrum is analyzed.
