Abstract
We report on half-integer Shapiro steps observed in a gate-tunable short ballistic InAs nanowire Josephson junction. We observed the Shapiro steps of the short ballistic InAs nanowire Josephson junction and found the half-integer steps in addition to the conventional integer steps. In this Josephson junction device the junction transmission can be varied with gate voltage. From measurements of the gate voltage and temperature dependences of the Shapiro steps, the origin of half-integer steps is assigned to the skewness of the current phase relation in the short ballistic Josephson junctions. These results will contribute to establish and control the superconductivity physics in the short ballistic semiconductor nanowires.
