Infrared transmission spectroscopy measurements on single bismuth nanowires of various diameters d are presented. The spectra show a strong absorption whose onset is blueshifted proportionally to 1/d(2). We ascribe the absorption to interband transitions. The blueshift results from quantum size effects since they lead to the d-dependent splitting of the energy bands and to a respective shift of energy gaps.
