Abstract

In inelastic light scattering experiments we observe for the first time clearly resolved one dimensional (1D) intersubband spin-density excitations. Together with new structure at energies close to the 2D intersubband transitions, these observations display the formation of 1D subbands. The depolarization shift (Wdep) and the excitonic shift (Wxc) can be deduced approximately from our experiments. These shifts are of special interest because they are related to the direct and exchange-correlation terms of the electron-electron interaction. We find ratios of the shifts (Wxc/Wdep) of up to 55%.
