A modified phonon confinement model considering the size distribution, an improved phonon dispersion curve and a confinement function is developed for the calculation of size dependent Raman spectra of the silicon (Si) nanocrystals. The…
A comparative analysis of two Raman line-shape functions has been carried out to validate the true representation of experimentally observed Raman scattering data for semiconducting nanomaterials. A modified form of already existing phonon…
We calculate low-frequency Raman scattering from the confined acoustic phonon modes of CdS1-xSex nanoparticles embedded in borosilicate glass. The calculation of the Raman scattering by acoustic phonons in nanoparticles has been performed…
Phonon modes found in low frequency Raman scattering from $CdS_{1-x}Se_x$ nanocrystals embedded in borosilicate glass arising from confined acoustic phonons are investigated. In addition to the breathing modes and quadrupolar modes, two…
Si-SiO2 multilayer nanocomposite (NCp) films, grown using pulsed laser deposition with varying Si deposition time are investigated using Raman spectroscopy/mapping for studying the variation of Si phonon frequency observed in these NCps.…
For nanoscale systems such as nanoparticles and 3D-bonded networks, the range of spatial coherence is well reflected in the Raman spectral pattern. For confined, or localized, phonons, the range of q-points contributing to the spectrum…
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…
Crystalline Silicon-on-Sapphire (SOS) films were implanted with boron (B$^+$) and phosphorous (P$^+$) ions. Different samples, prepared by varying the ion dose in the range $10^{14}$ to 5 x $10^{15}$ and ion energy in the range 150-350 keV,…
Raman scattering from the acoustic phonons confied in si nanocrystals is investigated by a microscopic lattice-dynamical calculation. Polarized and depolarized spectra are found to be rather different, indicated from different acoustic…
A comparison of experimentally observed Raman scattering data with Raman line-shapes, generated theoretically using phonon confinement model, has been carried out to understand the sensitivity of different Raman spectral parameters on…
Intermediate frequency range (511 - 514 cm-1) Si phonons in Si-SiO2 nanocomposites are shown to have contribution from both core1 and surface/interface1 Si phonons, where, ratio of contribution of the two depends on the size of a Si…
Microscopic description of Raman spectra in nanopowders of nonpolar crystals is accomplished by developing the theory of disorder-induced broadening of optical vibrational eigenmodes. Analytical treatment of this problem is performed, and…
Extending the idea of optical microcavities to sound waves, we propose a {\it phonon cavity} consisting of two semiconductor superlattices enclosing a spacer with thickness determined by the acoustic wavelength at the center of the first…
We present Raman spectroscopy of the polycrystalline Si and Ge films deposited by molecular beam deposition on a dielectric substrate. The Raman study has been made using lasers with different wavelengths. Structural properties of the…
The potential of silicon nanowires (SiNWs), (diameter < 10 nm) to transform into rigid bundle-like structures with distinct phonon confinement under high pressure (<= 15 GPa), instead of amorphising as per previous reports, is demonstrated…
Similar to electron waves, the phonon states in semiconductors can undergo changes induced by external boundaries. Modification of acoustic phonon spectrum in structures with periodically modulated elastic constant or mass density -…
Optical and vibrational properties of bare and CdS shelled CdSe nanocrystalline particles are investigated. To confirm the formation of such nanocrystals in our samples we estimate their average particle sizes and size distributions using…
We study the effect of confinement on the phonon properties of ultra-narrow silicon nanowires of side sizes of 1-10nm . We use the modified valence force field method to compute the phononic dispersion, and extract the density of states,…
The optical properties of metallic tin nanoparticles embedded in silicon-based host materials were studied. Thin films containing the nanoparticles were produced using RF magnetron sputtering followed by ex situ heat treatment. Transmission…
The observation of pure phonon confinement effect in germanium nanowires is limited due to the illumination sensitivity of Raman spectra. In this paper we measured Raman spectra for different size germanium nanowires with different…
