Abstract
We investigated the optical phonon excitations of laterally aligned nanorod arrays by resonant Raman scattering. We observed a strong suppression of the surface-optical phonon modes in the closely packed aligned arrays and a small asymmetry in the longitudinal-optical phonon peak with respect to the rod alignment orientation. These observations can be explained by the spatial distribution of the potential of the different phonon modes derived from the first principles calculations.
