The liquid phase of quantum‐confined electron–hole plasma is observed in a type‐II GaAs/AlAs short‐period quantum‐well wire superlattice grown on a high‐index (311) GaAs substrate surface. This superlattice system is the first low‐dimensional structure to support the condensation of electron–hole droplets as is evidenced by the characteristic properties of photoluminescence spectra.
