Abstract

For optoelectronic device applications, quantum wires can be used as active media due to their unique physical properties. However, conventional approaches such as the self-assembly via the Stranski-Krastanov (S-K) growth technique have a limited success in their applications toward optoelectronic devices including photovoltaics and solar cells. A novel fabrication mechanism for quality quantum wires has been discovered. The laser fabricated nanowires semiconductor surfaces can have width and height as small as 30 and 5 nm, respectively while the density is one per 200 nm.
