“…In the NW samples, the spectra exhibit GaAs-like TO and LO phonon modes at 266 and at 289 cm −1 , respectively, which are in good agreement with the corresponding bulk GaAs values. Compared to the reference epitaxial film, however, the GaAslike TO and LO modes in the NWs are shifted upward by 10-11 cm −1 , which are opposite to the downshift in energy reported [44] in GaAs NWs. The FWHM of the GaAs-like TO and LO modes in NWs N1 and N2 are 8/8 cm −1 and 8/11.1 cm −1 , respectively.…”
