Abstract

We report polarized Raman scattering studies on single InAs nanowires (NWs). The NWs were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on Si (111) substrates without external catalyst and showed a zinc-blende crystal structure. The single NWs were studied for different polarization excitation of the incident laser beam relative to the NW axis. The transverse optical (TO) mode exhibits maximum intensity when both the incident and analyzed light polarizations are parallel to the NW axis. The TO mode of InAs NWs is found to act like a nearly perfect dipole antenna, which can be attributed to the one-dimensional NW geometry and Raman selection rules.

Background

Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) have been intensively studied in the last decade due to their novel physical properties and potential applications in high-performance devices, such as field-effect transistors, lasers, photodetectors, and photovoltaic devices 1 2 3 4 5 . Among them, InAs NWs possess excellent electron transport properties such as high bulk mobility, small effective mass, and low ohmic contact resistivity, which can be used for making high-performance electronic devices such as high-mobility transistors 6 7 8 . For their device applications, it is important to understand the physical properties of these InAs NWs, including phonon scattering information. Although NWs with low defect density have been reported, many NW material systems suffer from various types of planar defects, predominantly rotational twins and twinning superlattices, alternating zinc-blende (ZB)/wurtzite polytypes, as well as point defects 9 10 11 12 . Raman scattering, a nondestructive contactless characterization technique, provides an effective approach to probe phonon properties. Combined with advanced confocal microscopy, Raman scattering can be well used to investigate the phonon properties of single NWs with a spatial resolution of roughly half the excitation wavelength. Phonon energies, scattering cross sections, and symmetry properties of optical phonons are determined by analyzing inelastically scattered light, providing information about crystal structure and composition, electronic properties, and electron–phonon and phonon-phonon interactions 13 . In the meantime, Raman scattering in NWs is expected to be different from that in their bulk materials due to their one-dimensional geometry 14 , where the polarized excitation will show a significant effect on phonon modes. Indeed, some previous studies on NWs do show an obvious polarization effect 15 16 17 18 19 20 . Though some works 21 22 have reported on the Raman spectra of InAs NW assemblies, little attention has been devoted to the Raman scattering in single InAs NWs 23 24 , especially the effect of excitation polarization on phonon vibration. In this work, we present a Raman study on single zinc-blende InAs NWs. The effect of excitation polarization on the phonon properties of single InAs NWs is also investigated in detail.

Methods

Experimental details

The InAs NWs were grown catalyst-free by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (Thomas Swan Scientific Equipment, Ltd., Cambridge, UK) on Si (111) substrates. The InAs NWs investigated here were from a characteristic sample grown for 7 min under a growth temperature of 550°C and a V/III ratio of 100 (the growth details were reported elsewhere) 21 . The NWs are crystalline having high-density twins and stacking faults over the entire nanowire length, 40 to 60 nm in diameter, and up to 5 μm in length. The epitaxial relationship between the InAs NWs and Si (111) substrate and the predominant crystal structure of these NWs were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM; Tecnai F20, 200 KeV, FEI, Eindhoven, The Netherlands). Raman scattering in InAs NWs was performed in backscattering geometry at room temperature with a Jobin–Yvon HR800 (Horiba Ltd., Longjumeau, France) confocal micro-Raman system. To measure the Raman scattering in single NWs, InAs NWs were removed from the sample surface and transferred to a graphite crystal (highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG)). The single InAs NWs were excited using the 514.5-nm Ar⁺ laser line to a 1-μm spot on the surface with an excitation power of 2.5 mW. The excitation polarization-dependent Raman scattering in single NWs was performed using the method shown in 23 , and the schematic diagram of the setup is shown in Figure 1. First, the incoming laser beam passes through a λ/2 plate so that its polarization e ^ i can be rotated by an angle ϕ. After passing through a beam splitter (50:50), it is focused on the nanowire with an objective of ×100 (NA 0.9). The polarization state of the scattered light e ^ s is analyzed by measuring the intensity of the two components (parallel or perpendicular to the wire). For this, a polarizer is used. Two coordinate systems are introduced: the laboratory coordinate system (x, y, z) and the crystal coordinate system of the NW (x′₁, x′₂, x′₃). z and x′₃ are parallel to the growth axis of the NW, while x′₁ (x′₂) is rotated by an angle (θ) with respect to the x(y) axis in the x - y plane.

Theoretical considerations of zinc-blende InAs

In the Raman scattering experiment, the scattering intensities I _s can be calculated from the Raman tensor which depends on the crystal symmetry as 23 25 26 :

I s ∝ e ^ i · R · e ^ s 2 ,

where R is the Raman tensor and e ^ i and e ^ s are the polarization of the incident radiation and the scattered radiation, respectively. The zone-center optical phonon in the zinc-blende structure is split into a doubly degenerate transverse optical (TO) mode and a longitudinal optical (LO) mode, and the Raman tensor elements are different for the TO and LO modes. As calculated, the TO mode can be observed in backscattering from the (110) and (111) surfaces, while the LO mode is allowed from the (100) and (111) surfaces 16 .

In this work, we investigated single InAs NWs grown in the [111] (zinc-blende) direction. We set

x 1 ' = T − 1 e ^ 1 = 1 2 1 , 1 ¯ , 0 , x 2 ' = T − 1 e ^ 2 = 1 6 1 , 1 , 2 ¯ , and x 3 ' = T − 1 e ^ 3 = 1 3 1 , 1 , 1 ,

representing the basis of the NW crystal coordinate system. When an optical phonon is polarized along the direction e ^ 1 = 100 ∥ x , e ^ 2 = 010 ∥ y , or e ^ 3 = 001 ∥ z , its Raman tensors R e 1 , R e 2 , and R e 3 will have only two nonzero components (d), which can be represented by a (3 × 3) matrix:

R e 1 = 0 0 0 0 0 d 0 d 0 , R e 2 = 0 0 d 0 0 0 d 0 0 , R e 3 = 0 d 0 d 0 0 0 0 0 ,

respectively 23 .

In order to calculate the selection rules for the zinc-blende structure, the Raman tensors are transformed in two steps. First, the Raman tensors are transformed into the laboratory coordinate system with the basis e ^ 1 , e ^ 2 , e ^ 3 . Secondly, they are rotated around the z axis by the angle θ (see Figure 1) in order to account for the additional degree of freedom of the top surface of the NWs. The two transformations can be described by the matrices

T = 1 2 − 1 2 0 1 6 1 6 − 2 6 1 3 1 3 1 3 , S = cos θ − sin θ 0 sin θ cos θ 0 0 0 1 ,

where T denotes the transformation into the basis e ^ 1 , e ^ 2 , e ^ 3 and S is the rotation about the NW z axis. For reasons of simplicity, we define M = ST. The Raman tensors R x ′ i for displacements along the directions x′_i in the basis e ^ 1 , e ^ 2 , e ^ 3 can now be written as

R x i ' = ∑ j = 1 3 M i j R e j , i = 1 , 2 , 3 ,

and the Raman tensors R ˜ x ′ i in the basis x ^ ′ 1 , x ^ ′ 2 , x ^ ′ 3 can be described by

R ˜ x ′ i = M R x ′ i M T , i = 1 , 2 , 3.

Here, we have considered a backscattering configuration along the x axis. In laboratory coordinates, the polarization e ^ i of the incident radiation and the polarization e ^ s of the scattered light take the form (see Figure 1)

e ^ i = 0 sin ϕ cos ϕ , e ^ s ⊥ = 0 1 0 , e ^ s ∥ = 0 0 1 ,

depending on whether the scattered radiation is analyzed perpendicular ( e ^ s ⊥ ) or parallel ( e ^ s ∥ ) to the wire axis, respectively. By inserting the obtained Raman tensors (Equation 5) in Equation 1, the Raman intensities of the zinc-blende structure for different configurations can be obtained. As shown in Figure 2, the theoretical intensities of the scattered light polarized perpendicular (I _⊥, polarized in the y direction) or parallel (I _∥, polarized in the z direction) to the [111] direction as a function of the angle ϕ of the incident polarization with respect to [111] are shown for TO (Figure 2a) from a bulk InAs substrate (110) in polar plots taking into account only the contribution of the Raman tensors. For perpendicular analysis (I _⊥), the maximum intensity of the TO mode is obtained for an angle of the incident polarization of 63°, while for the parallel analyzed polarization (I _∥), the maximum intensity is found for 0° with respect to the [111] direction. For reference, polarized Raman scattering was performed on a bulk InAs (110) substrate. The polar scan of the Raman intensity of the TO phonon is shown in Figure 2b. The experimental data show good agreement with the theory. The small shift of the TO intensity maxima of about 2° is attributed to an inclination of the polarization direction of the light with respect to the crystallographic axes of the substrate. It should be pointed out here that LO scattering is forbidden in this scattering configuration.

(a) Calculated intensity polar patterns of the scattered light polarized perpendicular (I_⊥) or parallel (I_∥) to the [111] direction as a function of the angle ϕ of the incident polarization with respect to [111] is shown for TO phonons in backscattering from a bulk InAs (110) substrate. (b) Measured polarized Raman scattering of the TO mode on a reference bulk InAs (110) substrate. Spheres and open squares represent the parallel and perpendicular components of the Raman signal, respectively. The continuous line is a squared sine fit to the data.

In order to calculate the polar patterns of I _s for NWs, one has to take into account the additional degree of freedom associated with the rotation of θ around the NW axis since it can influence the polar patterns of the optical modes. Based on 23 , this angular dependence is a clear signature of the presence of zinc-blende TO modes and can be used for their assignation.

Results and discussion

The epitaxial relationship between the InAs NWs and Si (111) substrate and the predominant crystal structure of these NWs were analyzed by XRD and TEM (Figure 3). The out-of-plane symmetric XRD 2θ − ω scan shown in Figure 3a, which was obtained from the as-grown NWs, indicates that NWs were grown epitaxially on the Si substrate. Besides the <111> reflection of Si at 28.4°, another reflection at 25.4° represented (111) of InAs. The weak peak of Si (111) may be due to not compensating for the 3.28° miscut of the Si substrate. Representative high-resolution TEM (HRTEM) images of these nanowires are presented in Figure 3b,c. Stripes with different contrast are observed along the nanowires. Careful analysis indicates that these correspond to the twin defects perpendicular to the growth axis. The detail of such defect is presented in Figure 3b. Figure 3c shows the HRTEM image of a NW with its inset showing the fast Fourier transform (FFT) image. The HRTEM image combined with the FFT image indicates that the InAs NW has a cubic, zinc-blende structure and grows along the <111> direction normal to the Si (111) substrate. The growth axis remains parallel to the (111) B direction.

Prior to the Raman investigations on single InAs NWs, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements were performed in order to determine the shape, diameter, and length of the NWs after transfer (Figure 4a). The SEM image of InAs NWs transferred to the HOPG substrate shows that the NWs are monodisperse and well separated from each other. The NWs are 40 to 60 nm in diameter and up to 5 μm in length.

Raman measurements were performed in a backscattering configuration on single InAs NWs and from the (110) surface of a bulk InAs single crystal as reference. The general measurement geometry for a single NW is shown in Figure 1. The laboratory coordinate system x, y, z is chosen according to the NW geometry and the basis of the NW crystal coordinate system: ( x ^ ‖ 1 1 ¯ 0 , y ^ ‖ 11 2 ¯ , z ^ ‖ 111 ). Based on the calculated selection rules in 16 , the TO phonon mode can be observed in the backscattering from the (110) and (111) InAs surfaces, while the LO phonon mode can be observed from the (100) and (111) InAs surfaces. The Raman spectra of the single InAs NW and bulk InAs obtained are shown in Figure 4b, which are measured under the configuration x z , z x ¯ . The coordinates y and z are chosen perpendicular and parallel to the NW growth axis, respectively. Incident and scattered light polarizations were selected parallel to the NW growth axis. The Raman spectra of both nanowire and bulk InAs have been normalized with respect to the intensity of the TO phonon mode of bulk InAs for easy comparison. For bulk InAs (110), the TO mode is found at 217.2 cm⁻¹ 24 . The Raman scattering spectrum of InAs NWs is composed mainly by the TO mode at 215.8 cm⁻¹, slightly lower than that for the reference bulk InAs (110) sample. In addition, the LO mode of the single NW is also visible at around 236 cm⁻¹, the appearance of which might be caused by the disorder and an imperfect scattering geometry 24 . In addition, the TO mode of InAs NWs exhibits a downshift of about 2 to 3 cm⁻¹ compared to the TO mode of bulk ZB InAs. Along with the downshift, a remarkable increase of the full width at half maximum to 14 cm⁻¹ is observed. It should be mentioned that the downshift of the TO mode was also observed in the Raman measurements on the as-grown NW ensemble samples. Generally, there are two factors which might induce the downward shift of phonon mode frequency and the broadening of the Raman peak. One is laser heating effect. As reported before 27 28 29 30 , local heating might also cause the downshift of phonon mode frequency and the broadening of phonon peak. To reduce the laser heating effect, we use the lowest laser power and the monodisperse wires were placed on high thermal conductivity HOPG to avoid substrate effects. An excitation power-dependent Raman measurement was performed on the single NWs, and no shifting of the phonon peak was observed when the excitation power is 0.05 mW (data not shown here), which may be due to high-thermal conductivity substrate (HOPG) and low nanowire coverage over the substrate 31 . Thus, this heating effect can be lowered in our measurements; the other is quantum confinement effect. It is well demonstrated before in theory and experiments that for small-sized crystals like quantum wires, nanowires, etc., the quantum confinement effect will be very obvious and result in the downward frequency shift and linewidth broadening of the TO and LO phonon modes. Such change of phonon mode frequency and linewidth is mainly due to the relaxation of the q = 0 selection rule in the Raman scattering 14 15 22 29 30 31 32 33 .

For better understanding of phonon properties in single NWs, excitation polarization-dependent Raman measurements were also performed on the single NWs. Figure 4c shows the Raman spectra of single NWs measured under four main polarization configurations ( x z , z x ¯ , x y , y x ¯ , x z , y x ¯ , and x y , z x ¯ ). It is observed that the intensity of the TO mode measured with parallel configuration, i.e., x z , z x ¯ and x y , y x ¯ , when the incident and scattered light polarizations are parallel to each other, is much stronger than that with perpendicular configuration, and the intensity measured under the x z , z x ¯ configuration is much stronger than that under the x y , y x ¯ configuration. This indicates that the highest scattering intensity occurs when both the incident and analyzed light linear polarization are parallel to the NW growth axis. These results observed here are in accordance with those of ZB GaAs NWs reported in 16 , which is mainly caused by the selection rules of the crystal. The excitation polarization-dependent Raman scattering measurements were performed by rotating the half-wave plate in 10° ± 2° increments and thus changing the angle, ϕ, between the electric vector of the incident light and the long axis of the NW. Figure 4d shows the polar scan of the intensity of the TO phonon mode of single InAs NWs as a function of the angle measured under two scattering configurations x ϕ , z x ¯ and x ϕ , y x ¯ , where x ‖ 1 1 ¯ 0 , y ‖ 11 2 ¯ , z ‖ 111 . As shown in Figure 4d, for the x ϕ , z x ¯ configuration, the maximum intensity occurs at 5° and 175°, while the minimum intensity occurs at 85° and 265°. Some experimental points slightly deviate from the trend, which might be caused by the experimental artifact. For the x ϕ , y x ¯ configuration, there is a weakly preferential value of ϕ giving a maximum scattering intensity (maximum intensity is around 75° and minimum intensity is around 340°). It is noted that the maximum intensity measured under the x ϕ , z x ¯ polarization is around seven times that measured under the x ϕ , y x ¯ polarization, which indicates that the Raman scattering under the x ϕ , z x ¯ configuration is much more efficient than that under the x ϕ , y x ¯ configuration. This particular distribution of the maximum/minimum Raman peak intensity in the polar scan, as shown in Figure 4d, agrees well with that obtained with theoretical calculation for ZB InAs nanowires 23 . This further confirms that the InAs NWs studied here is mainly composed of ZB phase, which accords with the HRTEM results discussed before 16 23 . The TO mode of InAs NWs is found to act like a nearly perfect dipole antenna. The same behavior has been found in the other one-dimensional systems, such as SWNTs 34 , 20-nm WS₂ nanotubes 35 , GaP NWs 26 , and GaAs NWs 16 . The origin of this effect has been attributed to the scattering of the electromagnetic field from a dielectric cylinder of nanoscale dimensions 19 . Furthermore, it is observed that the light is preferentially absorbed when the incident light is polarized along the nanowire axis 36 . These theories about Raman selection rules and the one-dimensional geometry of the NW may be used to explain our experimental data.

Conclusions

Raman scattering experiments have been performed on single InAs NWs. In the single NW spectra, a striking TO mode is observed at 215.8 cm⁻¹, slightly lower than that of the reference bulk InAs (110) sample. This downward shift of the phonon frequency is mainly caused by defects or disorders that existed in the NW. The excitation polarization-dependent Raman measurements indicate that the TO phonon mode in the NW presents the highest scattering efficiency when both the incident and analyzed polarization are parallel to the NW growth axis. The TO mode of InAs NWs is found to act like a nearly perfect dipole antenna. This is a combined consequence of both the selection rules and the one-dimensional geometry of the NW.
