Popis: The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of semiconductor structures, namely, Al0.3Ga0.7As-based quasi-one-dimensional cylindrical nanowires (nanowhiskers), are measured. The diameter of a typical nanowire is 20–50 nm, and its length was 0.5–1.0 μm. Samples containing one or several GaAs-based quantum dots at the center of the quantum wire are studied. The dot thickness is 2 nm, and the dot diameter is 15–40 nm. Individual nanowhiskers, several nanowhiskers (3–4), and ensembles consisting of many nanowhiskers are studied. The PL spectra are measured for different optical-excitation intensities and in magnetic fields of up to 11 T.
