Abstract
The integration of quantum emitters in semiconductor nanowires offers appealing prospects for quantum optics and quantum information applications. Here, we study the visible emission from metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) zinc oxide nanowires. We show that the nanowires frequently incorporate native red-emitting colour centres at about 650~nm, in the form of small ensembles exhibiting photon antibunching, down to individual emitters. Additional post-treatment can yield modification of the number and the optical properties of the emitters, as well as generate near-infrared emitters (~780nm). Our results could be used for the realisation of guided quantum sources deterministically integrated in hybrid devices.
期刊介绍:
The journal aims to publish papers at the forefront of nanoscale science and technology and especially those of an interdisciplinary nature. Here, nanotechnology is taken to include the ability to individually address, control, and modify structures, materials and devices with nanometre precision, and the synthesis of such structures into systems of micro- and macroscopic dimensions such as MEMS based devices. It encompasses the understanding of the fundamental physics, chemistry, biology and technology of nanometre-scale objects and how such objects can be used in the areas of computation, sensors, nanostructured materials and nano-biotechnology.
