Analysis of the microstructure in individual nanowires confirms the presence of a single wurtzite phase even at the highest Cd contents, with a homogeneous distribution of Cd both in the longitudinal and transverse directions. Thermal annealing at 550 C yields an overall improvement of the PL, which is blue-shifted as a result of the homogeneous decrease of Cd throughout the nanowire, but the single wurtzite structure is fully maintained. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-00809307/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-00809307/file/APL102-143103-Lopez-Ponce-2013.pdf %L hal-00809307 %U https://hal.science/hal-00809307 %~ CNRS %~ L2C %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM-2015-2021 %~ TEST3-HALCNRS
