Abstract

Inelastic light scattering spectra of the one-dimensional electron gas in GaAs quantum wires embedded in a strong perpendicular magnetic field show long-wavelength collective excitations and display multiple structures that indicate the magnetoroton density of states. The observed shift of the q0 intersubband magnetoplasmons from the cyclotron frequency is the signature of 1D behavior. At low temperatures spin polarization of the 1D system is revealed by the exchange enhancement of spin-flip excitations.
