46. It is possible to keep an equivalent axis system in the wurtzite case because wurtzite GaAs nanowires continue to exhibit a hexagonal cross section.

56. We have observed that small differences on the position of the laser on the nanowire can cause a considerable loss in intensity. A complete azymuthal measurement lasts 4 hours. It is experimentally extremely challenging to keep the laser spot on the same positions with an accuracy of few nm.
