Abstract
We have produced quantum wires of <10 nm in lateral dimension, smaller than the bulk exciton diameter. The quantum wires were fabricated by growing AlGaAs/GaAs quantum wells on a cleaved edge of an InGaAs/GaAs strained layer superlattice. Two wells were grown with widths of 70 and 30 Å, respectively. The lateral confinement in these structures is a consequence of the strain modulation of the inplane lattice constant of the (110) oriented GaAs quantum wells.
