Popis: We use low-temperature microphotoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy to measure the valence band parameters of single wurtzite InGaAs nanoneedles. The effective indium composition is measured by means of polarization-dependent Raman spectroscopy. We find that the heavy-hole and light-hole splitting is ∼95 meV at 10 K and the Stokes shift is in the range of 35–55 meV. These findings provide important insight in the band structure of wurtzite InGaAs that could be used for future bandgap engineering.
