Abstract
Semiconductor InSb nanowires present a highly intriguing platform with immense potential for applications in spintronics and topological quantum devices. The narrow band gap exhibited by InSb allows for precise tuning of these nanowires, facilitating smooth transitions between the electron transport region and the hole transport region. In this study, we demonstrate quantum transport measurements obtained from a high-quality InSb nanowire quantum dot device. By utilizing a back gate, this device can be adjusted from an electron-populated quantum dot regime to a hole-populated one. Within both regimes, we have observed dozens of consecutive quantum levels without any charge rearrangement or impurity-induced interruptions. Our investigations in the electron transport regime have explored phenomena such as Coulomb blockade effect, Zeeman effect,and Kondo effect. Meanwhile, in the hole-transport regime, we have identified conductance peaks induced by lead states. Particularly, we have created a tomographic analysis method of these lead states by tracking the behavior of these conductance peaks across consecutive Coulomb diamond structures.
