The structural and optical properties of 3 different kinds of GaAs nanowires with 100% zinc-blende structure and with an average of 30% and 70% wurtzite are presented. A variety of shorter and longer segments of zinc-blende or wurtzite…
We report on the photoluminescence characterization of GaAs quantum dots embedded into AlGaAs nano-wires. Time integrated and time resolved photoluminescence measurements from both an array and a single quantum dot/nano-wire are reported.…
We report the detection of quantum confinement in single InAs-InP core-shell nanowires. The wires having an InAs core with ~25 nm diameter are characterized by emission spectra in which two peaks are identified under high excitation…
A novel method for the direct correlation at the nanoscale of structural and optical properties of single GaAs nanowires is reported. Nanowires consisting of 100% wurtzite and nanowires presenting zinc-blende/wurtzite polytypism are…
Light scattering by two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) is immense, especially given their infinitesimal volume, thus enabling strong light-matter interactions. Surface 2D polariton waves manifest through large…
GaAs nanowires (NWs) grown by molecular-beam epitaxy may contain segments of both the zincblende (ZB) and wurtzite (WZ) phases. Depending on the growth conditions, we find that optical emission of such NWs occurs either predominantly above…
Low-temperature electrical conductance spectroscopy measurements of quantum point contacts implemented in p-type GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures are used to study the Zeeman splitting of 1D subbands for both in-plane and out-of-plane magnetic…
We report both zinc-blende (ZB) and wurtzite (WZ) crystal phase self-assembled GaAs quantum dots (QDs) embedding in a single GaAs/AlGaAs core-shell nanowires (NWs). Optical transitions and single-photon characteristics of both kinds of QDs…
We report micro-photoluminescence studies of single GaN/AlN quantum dots grown along the (0001) crystal axis by molecular beam epitaxy on Si(111) substrates. The emission lines exhibit a linear polarization along the growth plane, but with…
We study the electronic properties of GaAs nanowires composed of both the zincblende and wurtzite modifications using a ten-band k.p model. In the wurtzite phase, two energetically close conduction bands are of importance for the…
We present results on electron transport in quasi-one dimensional (1D) quantum wires in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures obtained using an asymmetric confinement potential. The variation of the energy levels of the spatially quantized states is…
We study theoretically the electronic properties of $c$-plane GaN/AlN quantum dots (QDs) with focus on their potential as sources of single polarized photons for future quantum communication systems. Within the framework of eight-band k.p…
We study the optical properties of a single core-shell GaAs-AlGaAs nanowire (grown by VLS method) using the technique of micro-photoluminescence and spatially-resolved photoluminescence imaging. We observe large linear polarization…
Crystal phase semiconductor heterostructures allow for electron confinement without uncertainties caused by chemical intermixing found in material heterostructures and are candidates for next generation optoelectronics devices ranging from…
While the properties of wurtzite GaAs have been extensively studied during the past decade, little is known about the influence of the crystal polytype on ternary (In,Ga)As quantum well structures. We address this question with a unique…
Polarization-dependent scattering anisotropy of cylindrical nanowires has numerous potential applications in, for example, nanoantennas, photothermal therapy, thermophotovoltaics, catalysis, sensing, optical filters and switches. In all…
A phase-stable superposition of femtosecond pulses and their second harmonic induces ultrashort microampere current bursts in single unbiased GaAs nanowires. Current injection relies on quantum interference of one- and two-photon absorption…
We present a study of the polarization properties of emission lines from single InGaN/GaN quantum dots (QDs). The QDs, formed by spinodal decomposition within ultra-thin InGaN quantum wells, are investigated using single-QD…
The optical properties of excitons confined in initially-unstrained GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dots are studied as a function of a variable quasi-uniaxial stress. To allow the validation of state-of-the-art computational tools for describing the…
We present the experimental evidence of giant optical anisotropy in single InAs quantum dots. Polarization-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy reveals a linear polarization ratio with huge fluctuations, from one quantum dot to another,…
