Optical Anisotropy in a GaAs/AlAs Quantum Wire Array Grown on Vicinal Substrate
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTThe optical properties of a quantum wire array which was successfully realized in a 4-nm-thick (GaAs)1/2 (AlAs)1/2 fractional-layer superlattice (FLS) are described. The FLS sample was grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on a (001) vicinal GaAs substrate tilted 2 ° towards [110]. The nominal cross sectional size of the GaAs wires is 4×4 nm. Optical anisotropy in absorption, refractive index and photoluminescence was clearly observed by polarization spectroscopy at room temperature as well as lower temperatures.
