Abstract

We investigate the relation between crystal stacking faults in individual wurtzite InAs and GaAs nanowires and the intensity of the forbidden longitudinal optical (LO) phonon mode in the Raman spectra. Micro-Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy are combined on the same individual nanowires to evaluate the LO mode intensity as a function of the stacking fault density. A clear increase in the LO mode intensity was observed when the stacking fault density was increased. Our results confirm the utility of Raman spectroscopy as a powerful tool for detecting crystal defects in nanowires.
