Optical properties of the lead halide perovskites nanocrystals are controlled by confined excitons and rich spectrum of confined acoustic and optical phonons. We study experimentally and theoretically the exciton-phonon interaction in…

Quantised lattice vibrations (i.e., phonons) in solids are robust and unambiguous fingerprints of crystal structures and of their symmetry properties. In metals and semimetals, strong electron-phonon coupling may lead to so-called Kohn…

Raman phonons are quantized molecular motions that arise from the inelastic scattering of light and mediate a wide range of spectroscopic and nonlinear optical phenomena. These can play a major role in frequency-conversion processes, but…

We report two new first-order Raman modes in the spectra of few-layer MoS$_2$ at 286~cm$^{-1}$ and 471~cm$^{-1}$ for excitation energies above 2.4~eV. These modes appear only in few-layer MoS$_2$; therefore their absence provides an easy…
