Conductance oscillations of core-shell nanowires in transversal magnetic fields. Manolescu, A., Nemnes, G. A., Sitek, A., Rosdahl, T. O., Erlingsson, S. I., & Gudmundsson, V. Phys. Rev. B, 93:205445, American Physical Society, May, 2016. Paper doi abstract bibtex We analyze theoretically electronic transport through a core-shell nanowire in the presence of a transversal magnetic field. We calculate the conductance for a variable coupling between the nanowire and the attached leads and show how the snaking states, which are low-energy states localized along the lines of the vanishing radial component of the magnetic field, manifest their existence. In the strong-coupling regime they induce flux periodic, Aharonov-Bohm-like, conductance oscillations, which, by decreasing the coupling to the leads, evolve into well-resolved peaks. The flux periodic oscillations arise due to interference of the snaking states, which is a consequence of backscattering at either the contacts with leads or magnetic or potential barriers in the wire.
