In this work we investigate local strain and composition in Ge nanowires using tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS). We will mainly focus on the influence of the tip on the NW's Raman spectrum, showing that the electromagnetic field enhancement due to the TERS effect allows to probe the local composition and strain in these nanostructures. A close comparison with what can be achieved using micro-Raman will be discussed, showing the great advantages of TERS over conventional far-field optical techniques. As a striking result we will show the presence of local vibrational modes (LVMs) of the GeGe mode in the presence of a Au rich enviroment which acts as catalyst for the NWs growth, are only observed using TERS. Finally, the dependence of strain and composition with the position along the NWs will be presented.
