摘要
We report resonant Raman scattering (RRS) by the TO, LO, and 2 LO modes of single wurtzite and zinc-blende GaAs nanowires. The optical band gap of wurtzite GaAs is 1.460 eV +/- 3 meV at room temperature, and 35 +/- 3 meV larger than the GaAs zinc-blende band gap. Raman measurements using incoming light polarized parallel and perpendicular to the wire c axis allowed us to investigate the splitting of heavy Gamma(9) and light-hole Gamma(7) band at the Gamma point of 65 +/- 6 meV.
