摘要
We present low temperature optical data obtained on narrow quantum wires, fabricated with reactive ion etching and MOCVD overgrowth, in both In1-xGaxAs/InP and GaAs/Ga1-xAlxAs systems. One-dimensional quantum confinement effects are observed in both cases for the lowest lateral sizes (L(x)), in which carrier lifetimes remain of the order of one nanosecond. For In1-xGaxAs/InP wires (L(x) down to 15 nm), quantum shifts of the photoluminescence peak (up to 30 meV) are observed. For GaAs/Ga1-xAlxAs wires (L(x) down to 20 nm), we present photoluminescence excitation spectra showing additional lateral confinement effects, concerning mainly the polarization of the observed transitions.
