Abstract
We explore and demonstrate quantum confinement without walls in metal-clad InAs quantum wells. We observed intersubband absorption from confined state s in InAs clad with Al, Sb, Nb, W, Pt, Ag, Au, Ti or In. We found that usin g this novel method, we can explore the physics and chemistry at the metal- semiconductor interface; reflection, autoionization, well-width fluctuation and interface reaction.
