H. Akiyama et al., CONCENTRATED OSCILLATOR STRENGTH OF ONE-DIMENSIONAL EXCITONS IN QUANTUM WIRES OBSERVED WITH PHOTOLUMINESCENCE EXCITATION SPECTROSCOPY, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 53(24), 1996, pp. 16160-16163
Photoluminescence excitation spectra have been measured on a series of
T-shaped quantum-wire (T-QWR) samples fabricated by the cleaved-edge
overgrowth method with molecular-beam epitaxy, in which the lateral co
nfinement is systematically changed. We have successfully evaluated th
e absorption area intensity of one-dimensional (1D) excitons, and foun
d the concentration of oscillator strength into 1D exciton states with
increased lateral confinement.
