Raman measurements are performed on defect-free wurzite GaP nanowires. Resonance Raman measurements are carried out over the excitation energy range between 2.19 and 2.71 eV. Resonances at 2.38 eV and 2.67 eV of the E1(LO) mode and at 2.67 eV of the A1(LO) are observed. The presence of these intensity resonances clearly demonstrates the existence of energy states with Gamma_9hh and Gamma_7V (Gamma_7C) symmetries of the valence (conduction) band and allows to measure WZ phase GaP band energies at the Gamma point. In addition, we have investigated temperature dependent resonant Raman measurements, which allowed us to extrapolate the zero temperature values of Gamma point energies, along with the crystal field and spin-orbit splitting energies. Above results provide a feedback for refining available theoretical calculations to derive the correct wurtzite III-V semiconductor band structure. ; Comment: 24 pages, 6 figures
