Sw. Dasilva et al., SURFACE PHONON OBSERVED IN GAAS WIRE CRYSTALS GROWN ON POROUS SI, Journal of physics. Condensed matter (Print), 10(43), 1998, pp. 9687-9690
GaAs epitaxially grown on porous Si (PS) showed the presence of wires
with typical diameters of 60 nm, and lengths in the range 6-10 mu m. T
he Raman spectra of these samples were studied, and we focused attenti
on on two additional modes appearing as 'shoulders' to the LO and TO G
aAs lines. The former could be assigned to a surface phonon, and the l
atter to the presence of As clusters.
