✦ Synopsis

A systematic approach to enhance the one-dimensional confinement energy of Al x Ga 1-x As/Al 0.3 Ga 0.7 As T-shaped quantum wires is demonstrated. The design of the sample structures is derived from a calculation of the confined T-wire states. The samples are grown by molecular beam epitaxy cleaved edge overgrowth. We present experimental results, which show a T-wire confinement energy of 54 meV for an optimized sample structure. The temperature dependence of the wire luminescence intensity and decay time is dominated by exciton scattering into the cleaved multiple quantum well structure, with an activation energy comparable to the wire confinement energy.

The ballistic conductance of a coupled T-shaped semiconductor quantum wire (CTQW) is studied. Two types of CTQW are considered, one of which is a P-shaped quantum wire ðPQWÞ which consists of two vertical arms on the same side of the horizontal arm and the other a P-clone quantum wire ðPCQWÞ which c

An asymmetric quantum T wire (QTWR) may be formed whenever two quantum wells (QW) of differing widths intersect. We measured the photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation from such QTWRs using microscope optics with high spatial resolution. The introduction of an asymmetry in the design of
