Abstract
GaAs-based nanowires hosting active quantum heterostructures provide a promising route toward monolithic integration of single-photon sources on silicon, a key requirement for scalable quantum photonics. However, ultrathin axial quantum-emitter formation is often hindered by facet-dependent growth dynamics and rotational twins, which induce lateral overgrowth and compromise interface abruptness. Here, we develop InGaAs-based quantum emitters by tailoring facet evolution via dilute Sb incorporation, which efficiently suppresses twins and promotes confined axial insertion at the growth-front facet. This approach significantly enhances the probability of obtaining abrupt, few-nanometer-thin quantum dots at the nanowire tip. Single-nanowire optical spectroscopy reveals intense, spatially localized emission from the active region with lifetimes as short as (0.51 0.02) ns, and second-order photon-correlation measurements consistently exhibit pronounced antibunching with , confirming single-photon emission. These results establish a strong correlation between twin density and axial heterostructure formation, identifying defect control as a key factor in realizing monolithically integrated nanowire single-photon sources.
