摘要
In0.135Ga0.865As/GaAs quantum wires with widely varying widths down to 29 nm have been studied by degenerate four-wave mixing. The exciton binding energy E-B in the wires has been determined by quantum beat spectroscopy. We find an increase of E-B with decreasing wire width, giving clear evidence for the lateral confinement of the excitons in the wire structures. Further, the exciton dephasing kinetics due to exciton-phonon and exciton-exciton scattering is studied. For both dephasing mechanisms we find an increase of the scattering rates with decreasing wire width. For the exciton-phonon scattering the increase is rather weak, while for the exciton-exciton scattering a drastic increase of the scattering rate is observed.
