G. Schedelbeck et al., RESONANT INELASTIC LIGHT-SCATTERING BY PLASMONS AT THE CROSSOVER FROM2--TO-ONE-DIMENSIONAL BEHAVIOR, Solid state communications, 93(7), 1995, pp. 569-574
Resonant inelastic light scattering is used to probe plasmon excitatio
ns in shallow etched GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wires. A semitransparent Scho
ttky gate on top of the structure allows a strong variation of the car
rier density in the system. The wavevector dispersion of the collectiv
e excitation spectrum is studied from the regime of confined wires to
a charge density modulated system.
