AI 中文摘要
晶相量子点（CPQDs）——由晶体结构而非材料成分定义的纳米线中的量子点——构成了唯一能够以单原子层的极致精度制备量子点阵列的平台。这种本征控制可产生具有原子级锐利界面的完美对齐量子点，为基于量子点的可扩展光子量子技术提供了独特途径。迄今为止，CPQDs主要在二元半导体（如InP和GaAs）中被研究，其发射线宽通常处于meV量级，从而限制了它们的技术潜力。在此，我们首次报道了AlGaAs纳米线中的CPQDs，并展示了线宽窄至61 μeV的明亮单光子发射以及低背景发射，证明其光学品质远优于典型CPQDs。我们将该性能归因于I型能带排列，这由1 ns的激子寿命所证实，该寿命显著短于II型CPQDs中通常观测到的寿命。此外，我们观测到了激子精细结构分裂和塞曼分裂，这与标准I型自组装量子点中常见的现象一致。
英文摘要
Crystal-phase quantum dots (CPQDs)$\unicode{x2014}$quantum dots in nanowires defined by crystal structure rather than material composition$\unicode{x2014}$constitute the only platform capable of fabricating quantum-dot arrays with the ultimate precision of a single atomic layer. This intrinsic control yields perfectly aligned quantum dots with atomically sharp interfaces, providing a unique pathway toward scalable quantum-dot-based photonic quantum technologies. To date, CPQDs have been studied primarily in binary semiconductors, such as InP and GaAs, where their emission linewidths are typically in the meV range, thereby limiting their technological potential. Here, we report, for the first time, CPQDs in AlGaAs nanowires and show bright single-photon emission with linewidths as narrow as 61 $μeV$ and low background emission, demonstrating optical quality well beyond typical CPQDs. We attribute this performance to a type-I band alignment, as suggested by an exciton lifetime of 1 ns, significantly shorter than that typically observed in type-II CPQDs. Additionally, we observe an exciton fine-structure splitting and a Zeeman splitting, as commonly observed in standard type-I self-assembled quantum dots.
