Abstract
High-quality T-shaped quantum wires are fabricated by cleaved-edge overgrowth with molecular-beam epitaxy on the interface improved by a growth-interrupt high-temperature anneal. Characterization by micro-photoluminescence (PL) and PL excitation (PLE) spectroscopy at 5 K reveals high uniformity, a sharp spectral width, and a small Stokes shift of one-dimensional (1D) excitons. The PLE spectrum for 1D states shows a large peak of ground-state excitons and a small absorption band ascribed to 1D continuum states with an onset at 11 meV above the exciton peak.Keywords
