Abstract
A polar semiconductor quantum wire for use in electronic and opto-electronic devices. The polar semiconductor quantum wire is either completely or partially encapsulated in metal to reduce the strength of the scattering potential associated with interface optical phonons normally established at the lateral boundaries of polar semiconductor quantum wires. Metal alone or metal employed in conjunction with modulation doping enhances the transport of charge carriers within the polar semiconductor quantum wire.
