These nanowires render possible InGaP compositions that cannot be made in thin films due to strain. The micro-Raman spectra acquired along the nanowires reveal the existence of compositional changes in the InGaP alloy associated with the doping sequence. The heavily Zn-doped InxGa1−xP (x is the In molar fraction) side of the tunnel diode is Ga rich, x = 0.25, with respect to the n-type and intrinsic segments of the top cell, which are close to the nominal composition of the NWs (x = 0.35). The p-type end segment is still Ga-rich. Electromagnetic resonances are observed in the tunnel diode. The Raman signal arising from the InGaP side of the tunnel diode is significantly enhanced. This enhancement permits the observation of a Raman mode that can be associated with an LO phonon plasmon coupled mode (LOPCM). This mode has not been previously reported in the literature of InGaP, and it permits the Raman characterization of the tunnel diode. The analysis of this mode and its relation to the LO phonon modes of the alloy, InP-like and GaP-like, allows to establish an apparent one-mode behavior for the phonon plasmon coupling. It indicates that hole plasma couples to the GaP-like LO mode. The LOPCMs are modeled using the Lindhard Mermin formalism for the dielectric function.
