Erratum: Polarized and resonant Raman spectroscopy on single InAs nanowires (vol 84, 085318, 2011)
We found out that the polar pattern for the zinc-blende InAs LO mode displayed in Fig. 2(b) of our original paper represents the backscattering Raman intensities from a (11¯2) top surface and not as stated in the original manuscript from a (110) top surface.In the latter the LO mode is forbidden for all configurations.
Polarized and resonant Raman spectroscopy on single InAs nanowires
We report polarized Raman scattering and resonant Raman scattering studies on single InAs nanowires. Polarized Raman experiments show that the highest scattering intensity is obtained when both the incident and analyzed light polarizations are perpendicular to the nanowire axis. InAs wurtzite optical modes are observed. The obtained wurtzite modes are consistent with the selection rules and also with the results of calculations using an extended rigid-ion model. Additional resonant Raman scattering experiments reveal a redshifted E1 transition for InAs nanowires compared to the bulk zinc-blende InAs transition due to the dominance of the wurtzite phase in the nanowires. Ab initio calculatio…
Optical phonon modes of wurtzite InP
Optical vibration modes of InP nanowires in the wurtzite phase were investigated by Raman scattering spectroscopy. The wires were grown along the [0001] axis by the vapor-liquid-solid method. The A1(TO), E2h, and E1(TO) phonon modes of the wurtzite symmetry were identified by using light linearly polarized along different directions in backscattering configuration. Additionally, forbidden longitudinal optical modes have also been observed. Furthermore, by applying an extended 11-parameter rigid-ion model, the complete dispersion relations of InP in the wurtzite phase have been calculated, showing a good agreement with the Raman experimental data.
