A.; Seo, Jungpil; Jung, Minkyung Abstract: We report the observation of quantized conductance in high-mobility three-dimensional Dirac semimetal Cd3As2 nanowire and nanoribbon p-n junctions. By employing suspended device geometries with dual local gates, we form tunable p-n junctions and realize ballistic transport across sub-micron channel lengths. In a wide nanoribbon device with a channel width of similar to 330 nm, conductance plateaus appear at integer multiples of 2e(2)/h in the n-n regime under high magnetic fields. Numerical simulations suggest that these features represent unresolved spin split subbands due to the smaller subband spacing in wider channels and support the interpretation that the observed quantization may originate from surface-state-dominated conduction. In contrast, narrower nanoribbons and nanowires exhibit conductance steps of 1e(2)/h, demonstrating spin-resolved subbands likely due to enhanced confinement effects. From spin-resolved subband spectroscopy, we extract an effective Land & eacute; g-factor of similar to 43 for the first subband in the bulk gap, establishing these nanostructures as a prospective platform for fault-tolerant quantum electronics.

By integrating Cd3As2 nanowires with on-chip superconducting LC resonators, we achieve sensitive detection of both resistance and quantum capacitance variations. In a long-channel device (L ≈ 1.8 μm), clear Fabry–Pérot (FP) interference patterns are observed in both DC and RF measurements, providing strong evidence for ballistic electron transport. RF reflectometry reveals gate-dependent modulations of the resonance frequency arising from quantum capacitance oscillations induced by changes in the density of states and FP interference. These oscillations exhibit a quasi-periodic structure that closely correlates with the FP patterns in DC transport measurements. In another device of a Cd3As2 nanowire Josephson junction (L ≈ 730 nm, superconducting Al contacts), FP interference patterns are too weak to be resolved in DC conductance but are detectable using RF reflectometry. These results demonstrate the high quality of our Cd3As2 nanowires and the versatility of RF reflectometry, establishing their potential for applications in topological quantum devices such as Andreev qubits or gatemon architectures.

However, the reproducibility of experimental results has been limited, potentially stemming from the thermodynamically stable Mn3+xSn1-x phase, where excess Mn substitutes at Sn sites and alters its intrinsic helical ordering. In this study, we present a Bi flux-assisted recrystallization method for synthesizing high-quality nominal Mn3Sn single crystals. Our approach yields stoichiometric and homogeneous samples with the largest residual resistivity ratio (RRR > 23) and sharper magnetic phase transitions, confirming their high purity. While the triangular AFM phase at room temperature is independent of sample quality, the helical magnetic ordering exhibits strong quality dependence, with additional helical phases emerging between 250 K and 280 K. At low temperatures, the system retains a semimetallic nature, as evidenced by the lower Sommerfeld coefficient (gamma), differential conductance (dI/dV) spectra, and magnetoresistance measurements. These findings highlight the interplay between chemical composition and magnetic phase transitions in Mn3Sn and establish a direct link between its helical ordering and electronic structure tuning. Our results not only provide a pathway for producing high-quality Mn3Sn single crystals but also offer a valuable platform for exploring unresolved aspects of its helical phases and potential applications in AFM spintronics.

Lee and colleagues observed the pseudospin texture of FeSn in real space, deepening our understanding of the lattice symmetry-preserving tunneling process in Dirac materials. A kagome lattice (KL) is a two-dimensional atomic network comprising hexagons interspersed with triangles, which provides a fascinating platform for studying competing quantum ground states. The KL contains three atoms in a unit cell, and their degrees of freedom combine to yield Dirac bands and a flat band. Despite many studies to understand the flat band in KL, exploring the pseudospin of Dirac bands in KL has been scarce. In this paper, we suggest pseudospin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy that is analogous to spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy. Using a pseudospin-polarized tip, we possibly observed the pseudospin texture of kagome metal FeSn in real space. Based on a simple tight-binding calculation, we further simulated the pseudospin texture of KL, confirming the geometric origin of pseudospin. This work potentially deepens our understanding of the lattice symmetry-preserving tunneling process in Dirac materials.
