Abstract

We utilize optical pump – THz probe spectroscopy to estimate electron mobility in strained GaAs/(In,Al)As core/shell nanowires. Our results demonstrate that strain-induced reduction of the effective electron mass leads to a remarkable increase of the mobility. The data analysis indicates an important role of the inhomogeneous plasmon broadening that may affect THz spectra of dense ensembles of nanowires.
