Popis: Raman scattering of individual aluminum nitride (AlN) nanowires is investigated systematically. The axial direction of single nanowire can be rapidly verified by polarized Raman scattering. The angular dependencies of E-2(high) mode show strongly anisotropic behavior in smaller nanowires, which results from optical antenna effect. Raman enhancement (RE) per unit volume of E-2(high) increases with decreasing diameter of nanowires. Compared to the thin film, similar to 200-fold increase of RE is observed in AlN nanowires having diameter less than 50 nm, which is far beyond the quantum confinement regime. Such a large RE can be attributed to the effects of resonant cavity and stimulated Raman scattering.
