Abstract
A study of high-quality InxGa1-xAs T-shaped quantum wires (T-QWR's) vi a photoluminescence spectroscopy to characterize the lateral confineme nt effect is reported. The effective lateral confinement energy of exc itons in 3.5-nm-scale In0.17Ga0.83As/Al0.3Ga0.7As T-QWR's is found to be as large as 34 meV. The value has been examined in comparison with the previous results on GaAs/Al0.3Ga0.7As and GaAs/AlAs T-QWR's. [S016 3-1829(98)00304-X].
