The possibility of fabricating a composite system based on colloidal CdSe/ZnS quantum dots and GaAs nanowires is demonstrated and the structural and emission properties of this system are investigated by electron microscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy techniques. The good wettability and developed surface of the nanowire array lead to an increase in the surface density of quantum dots and, as a consequence, in the luminosity of the system in the 600-nm wavelength region. The photoluminescence spectrum of the quantum dots exhibits good temperature stability in the entire range 10-295 K. The impact of surface states on energy relaxation and the role of exciton states in radiative recombination in the quantum dots are discussed.
