We present a simple fabrication technique for lateral nanowire wrap-gate devices with high capacitive coupling and field-effect mobility. Our process uses e-beam lithography with a single resist-spinning step, and does not require chemical etching. We measure, in the temperature range 1.5-250 K, a subthreshold slope of 5-54 mV/decade and mobility of 2800-2500 $cm^2/Vs$ -- significantly larger than previously reported lateral wrap-gate devices. At depletion, the barrier height due to the gated region is proportional to applied wrap-gate voltage.

A simple scalable scheme is reported for fabricating suspended carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNT-FETs) without exposing pristine as-grown carbon nanotubes to subsequent chemical processing. Versatility and ease of the technique is demonst
rated by controlling the density of suspended nanotubes and reproducing devices multiple times on the same electrode set. Suspending the carbon nanotubes results in ambipolar transport behavior with negligible hysteresis. The Hooges constant of the suspended CNT-FETs (2.6 x 10-3) is about 20 times lower than for control CNT-FETs on SiO2 (5.6 x 10-2).
We report a method for making horizontal wrap-gate nanowire transistors with up to four independently controllable wrap-gated segments. While the step up to two independent wrap-gates requires a major change in fabrication methodology, a key advantag
e to this new approach, and the horizontal orientation more generally, is that achieving more than two wrap-gate segments then requires no extra fabrication steps. This is in contrast to the vertical orientation, where a significant subset of the fabrication steps needs to be repeated for each additional gate. We show that cross-talk between adjacent wrap-gate segments is negligible despite separations less than 200 nm. We also demonstrate the ability to make multiple wrap-gate transistors on a single nanowire using the exact same process. The excellent scalability potential of horizontal wrap-gate nanowire transistors makes them highly favourable for the development of advanced nanowire devices and possible integration with vertical wrap-gate nanowire transistors in 3D nanowire network architectures.
Semiconducting-superconducting nanowires attract widespread interest owing to the possible presence of non-abelian Majorana zero modes, which hold promise for topological quantum computation. However, the search for Majorana signatures is challenging
because reproducible hybrid devices with desired nanowire lengths and material parameters need to be reliably fabricated to perform systematic explorations in gate voltages and magnetic fields. Here, we exploit a fabrication platform based on shadow walls that enables the in-situ, selective and consecutive depositions of superconductors and normal metals to form normal-superconducting junctions. Crucially, this method allows to realize devices in a single shot, eliminating fabrication steps after the synthesis of the fragile semiconductor/superconductor interface. At the atomic level, all investigated devices reveal a sharp and defect-free semiconducting-superconducting interface and, correspondingly, we measure electrically a hard induced superconducting gap. While our advancement is of crucial importance for enhancing the yield of complex hybrid devices, it also offers a straightforward route to explore new material combinations for hybrid devices.
We study spin accumulation in an aluminium island, in which the injection of a spin current and the detection of the spin accumulation are done by means of four cobalt electrodes that connect to the island through transparent tunnel barriers. Althoug
h the four electrodes are designed as two electrode pairs of the same shape, they nonetheless all exhibit distinct switching fields. As a result the device can have several different magnetic configurations. From the measurements of the amplitude of the spin accumulation, we can identify these configurations, and using the diffusion equation for the spin imbalance, we extract the spin relaxation length $lambda_mathrm{sf} = 400 pm 50$~nm and an interface spin current polarization $P = (10 pm 1)%$ at low temperature and $lambda_mathrm{sf} = 350 pm 50$~nm, $P = (8 pm 1)%$ at room temperature.
Fundamental physical properties limiting the performance of spin field effect transistors are compared to those of ordinary (charge-based) field effect transistors. Instead of raising and lowering a barrier to current flow these spin transistors use
static spin-selective barriers and gate control of spin relaxation. The different origins of transistor action lead to distinct size dependences of the power dissipation in these transistors and permit sufficiently small spin-based transistors to surpass the performance of charge-based transistors at room temperature or above. This includes lower threshold voltages, smaller gate capacitances, reduced gate switching energies and smaller source-drain leakage currents.
