Wq. Ma et al., Self-organized quantum wires formed by elongated dislocation-free islands in (In,Ga)As/GaAs(100), APPL PHYS L, 78(9), 2001, pp. 1297-1299
Long and fairly uniform quantum wire arrays have been fabricated by the gro
wth of (In,Ga)As/GaAs multilayer structures. The structural properties of t
he quantum wires are characterized by atomic force microscopy, x-ray diffra
ctometry, and transmission electron microscopy. The lateral carrier confine
ment in the quantum wires is confirmed by linear polarization dependent pho
toluminescence (PL) and magneto-PL measurements. (C) 2001 American Institut
