Abstract

In this study, polarized-Raman scattering measurements of an individual ZnO nanorod were carried out by using a confocal microscope together with a high-resolution piezoelectric stage. A predominant A1 (TO) mode at 378 cm-1 in the parallel polarization (E) configuration and a predominant E2 (high) mode at 438 cm-1 in the perpendicular polarization (E⊥) configuration demonstrate the strong polarization dependent Raman scattering signals of an individual ZnO nanorod. The Raman intensity images of the individual ZnO nanorods with different orientation configurations can also be obtained, which reflect the interplay between the local phonon behavior and geometric anisotropy.
