Abstract  The in-plane optical anisotropy (IPOA) of c-plane InGaN/GaN quantum disks (Qdisks) in nanowires grown on MoS2/Mo and Ti/Mo substrates is investigated using reflectance difference spectroscopy (RDS) at room temperature. A large IPOA related to defect or impurity states is observed. The IPOA of samples grown on MoS2/Mo is approximately one order of magnitude larger than that of samples grown on Ti/Mo substrates. Numerical calculations based on the envelope function approximation have been performed to analyze the origin of the IPOA. It is found that the IPOA primarily results from the segregation of indium atoms in the InGaN/GaN Qdisks. This work highlights the significant influence of substrate materials on the IPOA of semiconductor heterostructures.
