  6. Results for high-density 1D electron gas Exc. 5K Pex = 40mW Small hole density We observed PL peakatBand edge and PLE onsetatFermi edge

  7. Estimation of carrier temperature from PL/PLE ratio Sawicki et al., Phys. Rev. A54, 4837 (1996). Chatterjee et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 067402 (2004). We observed PL peakatBand edge and PLE onsetatFermi edge Estimated temperature :9.8±0.5K（kBT～ 1meV）

  8. Estimation of electron density by free-particle model calculation Asada et. al., IEEE J. Quantum Electron. (1986) We observed PL peakatBand edge and PLE onsetatFermi edge Pronounced FES effect was NOT observed Estimated temperature :9.8±0.5K（kBT～ 1meV） Ef/kBT ～５ Estimated density :6x105 cm-1（Ef ～ 5meV）

  9. Temperature dependence of ＰＬ and ＰＬＥ at 0.7V T=5K (Ef/kBT ～ ５) high PLE onset at Fermi edge (FE) temperature T=50K (Ef/kBT ～ 1) sharp PLE peak at Band edge (BE) low Good agreement with calculations. Characteristic of 1D systems. We observed Signature of 1D DOS singularityat Band-edge absorption peak

  10. Gate-voltage dependences at 5K Estimated density :6x105 cm-1（Ef ～ 5meV） high Gate voltage low Non-doped limit at Zerodensity（Ef ～ 0meV）

  11. Gate-voltage dependences at 5K (0.7 - 0.5 V) • Red shifting PLE onset at Fermi edge Red shift of Fermi edge Decrease of Electron density

  12. Gate-voltage dependences at 5K (0.4 - 0.35 V) • Characteristic double peak structure We observed Characteristic double peak PLE structure with Band edge and Fermi edge

  13. Gate-voltage dependences at 5K (0.3 – 0 V) • Crossover to excitonic regime (Vg < 0.2V) from band-to-band recombination regime (Vg > 0.3V) • Analogous to the results for 2D electron systems[’99 V. Huard, PRL, '00 R. Kaur, PSS(b), '02 T. Ogawa, Nonlinear Opt. ]

  14. Gate-voltage dependences at 5K (0.3 – 0 V) • Crossover to excitonic regime (Vg < 0.2V) from band-to-band recombination regime (Vg > 0.3V) • Analogous to the results for 2D electron systems[’99 V. Huard, PRL, '00 R. Kaur, PSS(b), '02 T. Ogawa, Nonlinear Opt. ] • Splitting of X should be due toML fluctuations of stem well PLE at 0V is consistent with that of non-doped quantum wire [ Itoh et al., APL 83, 2043 (2003). ] 0V corresponds toLimit of non dope (zero density)

  15. Comparison whole experimental results with calculations Vg = 0.7 - 0.4 V ne=6x105cm-1～ 3x105cm-1Degenerated 1D electron gas(Ef/kBT > 2) high Vg = 0.4 - 0.35 V ne=3x105cm-1～ 2.5x105cm-1Non-degenerated 1D electron gas(Ef/kBT < 2) Electron density Double peak induced by 1D DOS low Vg < 0.2 V ne < 1.5x105cm-1 Limit of non dope (zero density) Signature of 1D DOS singularity also appears in the characteristic double peak structure at 0.35-0.4V !!

  16. Differences between 2D and 1D systems [1] FES 2D electron system 1D electron system ’87 M. S. Skolnick, PRL ’93 K. Kheng, PRL ’99 V. Huard, PRL ’00 R. Kaur, PSS(b) [1] ’01 G. Yusa, PRL strong FES charged exciton (Trions) evolution from trions to FES Trions with Fractional QHE Characteristic double peak structure with band edge and Fermi edge low Excitons (X) Trions (X-) Electron density high Band-to-Band recombination • Signature of 1D DOS singularity • Density-tuning of 2DEG by gate • PL and PLE measurements • Interesting physics Unique feature of High-quality1D electron systems

  17. Summary Variable-density 1D electron gas was realizedin a T-shaped quantum wire with a gate structure. PLE measurements on a 1D ground states were achieved on an isolated single quantum wire. We observed a signature of 1D DOSrepresented by an absorption peak at the band edge,which indicates a high uniformity of our sample. The tunable density range covers from 0 to 6x105cm-1 Future investigation • Remove ML fluctuations in the stem well (g ～0.2meV) • Measurements at much lower temperature (T＜5K) • Measurements under magnetic field (B～10T)

  18. PLE measurement on ground states absorption peak The amount of laser scattering is smaller than that of PL • We can set the PLE window for the ground state emission !!
