Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Transport properties and structural characteristics of a single semiconductor nanowire grown by molecular beam epitaxy were investigated. The nanowires were formed by depositing an AlGaAs/GaAs/InAs short-period superlattice onto self-assembled InAs quantum dots on GaAs. It is found that the nanowire current channels showed good ohmic conduction when the compositions of Al, In and Ga were about 19, 29 and 52%, respectively. In addition, the measurements of the conductance of nanowires as a function of temperature imply Luttinger-liquid behavior. These results suggest that our nanowire has potential applications in optoelectronics devices.
