One-Dimensional Quantum Dot Array Integrated with Charge Sensors in an InAs Nanowire.

We report an experimental study of a 1D quintuple-quantum-dot array integrated with two charge sensors in an InAs nanowire. The device is studied by measuring double quantum dots formed consecutively in the array, and corresponding charge stability diagrams are revealed with both direct current measurements and charge sensor signals. The one-dimensional quintuple-quantum-dot array is then tuned up, and its charge configurations are fully mapped out with the two charge sensors.

Microwave-Assisted Unidirectional Superconductivity in Al-InAs Nanowire-Al Junctions under Magnetic Fields.

Under certain symmetry-breaking conditions, a superconducting system exhibits asymmetric critical currents, dubbed the "superconducting diode effect." Recently, systems with the ideal superconducting diode efficiency or unidirectional superconductivity have received considerable interest. In this work, we report the study of Al-InAs nanowire-Al Josephson junctions under microwave irradiation and magnetic fields.

Gate-defined quantum point contacts in a germanium quantum well.

We report an experimental study of quantum point contacts defined in a high-quality strained germanium quantum well with layered electric gates. At a zero magnetic field, we observed quantized conductance plateaus in units of 2/. Bias-spectroscopy measurements reveal that the energy spacing between successive one-dimensional subbands ranges from 1.

Supercurrent, Multiple Andreev Reflections and Shapiro Steps in InAs Nanosheet Josephson Junctions.

We report an experimental study of proximity induced superconductivity in planar Josephson junction devices made from free-standing InAs nanosheets. The nanosheets are grown by molecular beam epitaxy, and the Josephson junction devices are fabricated by directly contacting the nanosheets with superconductor Al electrodes. The fabricated devices are explored by low-temperature carrier transport measurements.
