Lateral quantum size effects created by growth induced surface and interface corrugations on non-(100)-oriented substrates

The evolution of periodic arrays of macrosteps and facets on III—V semiconductor surfaces during molecular beam epitaxy is used to create lateral quantum size effects in GaAs quantum wire and quantum dot structures in an AlAs matrix. We show that well ordered alternating wide and narrow regions of GaAs and AlAs form symmetric and asymmetric quantum-dot arrays on (111) and (211) GaAs, respectively, and periodic quantum wire arrays on (311) GaAs. The accumulation of steps by step bunching on (210) GaAs allows us to fabricate mesoscopic step arrays in GaAs-AlAs multilayer structures with a lateral periodicity comparable to the exciton Bohr radius. The observed optical properties of these corrugated multilayer structures confirm the additional lateral size quantization.

It was theoretically determined the electrical conductivity, thermopower and thermal conductivity of semiconductor quantum wire conditioned by a random field of Gaussian fluctuations of wire thickness. We present the results for cases nondegenerate and generate statistics of carriers. The considered mechanism of relaxation of the carriers is essential for sufficiently thin and clean wire from the А3В5 and А4В6 type of semiconductors at low temperatures. The quantum size effects that are typical of quasi-one-dimensional systems were revealed.
