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 (1-D) excitons. The PLE spectrum for 1-D states shows a large peak of ground-state excitons and a small absorption band ascribed to 1-D continuum states with an onset at 11 meV above the exciton peak.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-09-10T22:22:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "exciton states", "one-dimensional continuum", "small absorption band", "molecular beam epitaxy", "growth-interrupt high-temperature anneal" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
