High-density InAs nanowires realized in situ on (100) InP

Abstract
High-density InAsnanowires embedded in an In 0.52 Al 0.48 As matrix are fabricatedin situ by molecular beam epitaxy on (100) InP. The average cross section of the nanowires is 4.5×10 nm2. The linear density is as high as 70 wires/μm. The spatial alignment of the multilayer arrays exhibit strong anticorrelation in the growth direction. Large polarizationanisotropic effect is observed in polarized photoluminescence measurements.
