Ballistic transport in InSb mesoscopic structures

Abstract Two different device geometries are fabricated to investigate ballistic transport of electrons in low-dimensional InSb structures. Negative bend resistance is observed in four-terminal devices of channel widths ranging from 0.2 to 0.65 μm. We also report the observation of conductance quantization in quantum point contacts fabricated using in-plane gates. The one-dimensional subbands depopulate with increasing transverse magnetic field up to 3 T. Zeeman splitting is resolved at magnetic fields above ∼0.9 T.
