Abstract

Fabrication of quantum wires has recently received much attention since new physical phenomena with possible use in semiconductor lasers are expected.^1,2 Although various fabrication techniques have been investigated to obtain the quantum wires, existence of the quantum wire effect is not fully evident. In this paper, to confirm the 2-D confinement effects more clearly, magneto-PL spectra are studied in GaAs quantum wires fabricated by a MOCVD selective growth technique.
