TLDR
In this paper, the advantages of using quantum wires and quantum box structures as optoelectronic materials are discussed. And the structural requirements to obtain these desirable properties are clarified, and the advantage and limitation of gate-controlled planar superlattices and other quantum interference devices are examined.

Optical characteristics of 1.24-μm InAs quantum-dot laser diodes

TL;DR: In this article, the optical characteristics of the first laser diodes fabricated from a single-InAs quantum-dot layer placed inside a strained InGaAs QW are described, and the saturated modal gain for this novel laser active region is found to be 9-10 cm/sup -1/ in the ground state.

Trapping of photogenerated carriers by InAs quantum dots and persistent photoconductivity in novel GaAs/n-AlGaAs field-effect transistor structures

TL;DR: In this article, the trapping of photogenerated carriers by embedded InAs quantum dots (QDs) has been studied at 77 K in novel GaAs/n-AlGaAs structures.

Mesoscopic physics and nanoelectronics: nanoscience and nanotechnology

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the exciting field and challenging areas of research in mesoscopic physics and nanoelectronics is given, with time-independent S-matrix theory applied to mesoscopic systems and double-time-axis time-dependent S -matrix thoory, coupled with the lattice Weyl-Wigner formulation of quantum dynamics of electrons in solids.

Formation of GaAs ridge quantum wire structures by molecular beam epitaxy on patterned substrates

TL;DR: A ridge quantum wire structure has been successfully fabricated on a patterned (001) GaAs substrate by first growing a (111)B facet structure with a very sharp ridge and then depositing a thin GaAs quantum well on its top as mentioned in this paper.

Multidimensional quantum well laser and temperature dependence of its threshold current

TL;DR: In this paper, a new type of semiconductor laser is studied, in which injected carriers in the active region are quantum mechanically confined in two or three dimensions (2D or 3D), and the effects of such confinements on the lasing characteristics are analyzed.

Gain and the threshold of three-dimensional quantum-box lasers

TL;DR: In this article, the electronic dipole moment and its polarization dependence are analyzed, and it is shown that the gain becomes maximum when the electric field of light is parallel to the longest side of the quantum box.

Intrinsic mechanism for the poor luminescence properties of quantum-box systems

TL;DR: It is proposed that electrons captured from the barriers in the upper levels of quantum boxes are retained in their cascade to the fundamental states for more than nanoseconds, and no luminescence can be obtained from these stored electrons with reasonable assumptions for the hole population.

Scattering Suppression and High-Mobility Effect of Size-Quantized Electrons in Ultrafine Semiconductor Wire Structures

TL;DR: In this paper, the transport properties of electrons confined in ultrafine wire structures are studied theoretically and the scattering probability of such size-quantized electrons is calculated for Coulomb potential and is shown to be suppressed drastically because of the one-dimensional nature of the electronic motion in the wire.
