Self-organized ZnCdSe quantum wires (QWRs) are realized on cleavage-in
duced GaAs (110) surfaces based on simultaneous selective growth and c
omposition modulation. Formed on step tops, the QWRs are parallel to t
he [<(1)over bar 10>] direction and extend to millimeter order in leng
th. Surface observations and optical studies demonstrate the formation
of QWRs. A large piezo-electric field is observed in the QWRs, implyi
ng potential applications in nonlinear optoelectronic devices. (C) 199
