Bright single-photon sources in bottom-up tailored nanowires

Single-photon sources are important for quantum optical technologies, although achieving efficient light extraction from them with waveguides is limited in top-down approaches. Reimeret al. show a high extraction efficiency using a bottom-up method to grow quantum dots on the axis of nanowire waveguides.

Growth and optical properties of axial hybrid III–V/silicon nanowires

Nanowires with sharp interfaces between two different semiconducting materials could lead to useful nanoelectronic and nanophotonic structures. Hocevar et al.develop a method to integrate a gallium arsenide section in silicon nanowires with atomically sharp interfaces and no dislocations.

Direct bandgap quantum wells in hexagonal Silicon Germanium

Authors demonstrate the synthesis and characterization of direct bandgap quantum wells in the hexagonal Si_1−xGe_x system. Photoluminescence experiments show light emission up to room temperature, and the emission wavelength can be tuned by thickness of the wells and the Si composition.

Twinning superlattices in indium phosphide nanowires

In this paper, the crystal structure and stacking fault density of semiconducting nanowires composed of the same material are controlled by doping, leading to twinning superlattices. Periodic arrays of rotational dislocations lead to crystal heterostructures in indium phosphide and gallium phosphide nanowires.
