摘要
We have designed and prepared a T-shaped GaAs edge quantum wire (T-QWR) structure with AlAs barriers by cleaved edge overgrowth method. Three photoluminescence (PL) peaks have been observed and their origins are identified using the spatially resolved PL technique. The effective binding energy of carriers in this T-QWR is precisely determined as the energy spacing between T-QWRs and the adjacent QWs. When the well width of constituent QWs was 5 nm, the effective binding energy is found to be as large as 35 meV, which is far beyond the thermal energy kT at room temperature.© 1995 American Institute of Physics.

  • [8] fact, the region designated as the 50 nm thick AlAs layer (see Fig. 1) is a 5 period superlattice consisting of 10 nm thick AlAs and 1 nm thick GaAs. This superlattice structure is quite effective to decrease the interface roughness of the multi-QW layer in the first growth
