We report a new type of single InAs quantum dot (QD) embedded at the junction of gold-free branched GaAs/AlGaAs nanowire (NW) grown on silicon substrate. The photoluminescence intensity of such QD is ~20 times stronger than that from randomly distributed QD grown on the facet of straight NW. Sharp excitonic emission is observed at 4.2 K with a line width of 101 μeV and a vanishing two-photon emission probability of g(2)(0) = 0.031(2). This new nanostructure may open new ways for designing novel quantum optoelectronic devices.
