摘要
We fabricated micro-tubes containing two GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QWs) in a section of the tube layer, and studied the optical properties of the embedded QWs. A multilayer structure composed of GaAs and AlGaAs layers and a lattice-mismatched InGaAs layer was epitaxially grown on a GaAs substrate by MBE. This multilayer structure rolled up by the built-in strain when it was freed from the substrate. By measuring the photoluminescence peak shift of the QWs caused by the uniaxial strain, we were able to determine the radial profile of the strain within the micro-tube wall.
