Spectroscopic Properties of CdTe Quantum Wires at Cryogenic Temperatures — •Svenja Patjens, Andreas Nielsen, Philip Harder, Tobias Kipp, and Alf Mews — Institut für Physikalische Chemie, Universität Hamburg, Grindelallee 117, 20146 Hamburg, Germany

One-dimensional semiconductor quantum wires grown by the solution-liquid-solid (SLS) mechanism or similar methods typically consist of alternating segments of zinc blende and wurtzite phases. [1] Here, we investigate the optical properties of near phase-pure and polytypic cadmium telluride nanowires via confocal microscopy. The wurtzite phase distribution in the wires, prepared by the solution-solid-solid (SSS) method [2], was analyzed by means of high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Photoluminescence spectroscopy of single specimens at cryogenic temperatures (T <9 K) revealed several distinct features and spectral shifts with respect to measurements at room temperature. Low-temperature fluorescence spectra of WZ-phase and polytypic wires were compared in order to get an insight into the effect of phase-alternations and domain sizes.
