摘要
The first- and second-order Raman scattering of the silicon nanowires grown without any metal catalyst is studied in the temperature range from 77 to 873 K. The first- and second-order Raman peaks were found to shift and broaden differently with increasing temperature. We show that this is due to the confinement related enhanced anharmonic effects in silicon nanowires. Our measurements also show that both the second-to first-order Raman peak intensity ratio [I(2TA)(int.)/I(1TO)(int.) and I(2TO)(int.)/I(1TO)(int.)] and the Raman relative intensities [I(2TA)(int.)/I(2TO)(int.)] increase with increasing temperature.
