摘要
In semiconducting nanowires, both zinc blende and wurtzite(1) crystal structures can coexist.(2-4) The band structure difference between the two structures can lead to charge confinement.(5) Here we fabricate and study single quantum dot devices(6) defined solely by crystal phase in a chemically homogeneous nanowire and observe single photon generation. More generally, our results show that this type of carrier confinement represents a novel degree of freedom in device design at the nanoscale.
