Abstract
Unlike quantum wells, where the motion of carriers is restricted to a plane through the crystallization of thin epitaxial layers [64], the creation of quantum wires or dots, which confine the carriers to a space with at least two of three dimensions limited to the range of the de Broglie wavelength, requires far more advanced technology.
