Abstract

InSb nanowires with zinc-blende crystal structure and precise stoichiometry are synthesized via pulsed-laser chemical vapor deposition. Raman spectroscopy shows Stokes and anti-Stokes peaks of transverse-optical mode with asymmetric broadening. The nanowire demonstrates n-type semiconductor behavior. Enhanced surface scattering due to size confinement leads to reduced electron mobility.
