Abstract

We report the formation and optical properties of site-controlled InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) embedded in GaAs nanowires (NWs) by selective metalorganic chemical vapor deposition for application to single photon sources. InAs/GaAs QD-in-NWs with various InAs thicknesses are realized on patterned GaAs(111)B substrates in the form of InAs/GaAs heterostructures and identified by structural analyses using scanning transmission electron microscopy and photoluminescence characterization. Sharp excitonic emission peaks at 10 K from single QD-in-NWs with the narrowest exciton linewidth of 87 μe V are observed. Light emission from the single QD-in-NW shows photon antibunching which evidences single photon emission from high-quality QD-in-NWs.
