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…
The specific mechanisms which leads to the formation of fractal nanostructures by pulsed laser deposition remain elusive despite intense research efforts, motivated mainly by the technological interest in obtaining tailored nanostructures…
Gallium arsenide nanowires were synthesized by gallium-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. By varying the growth time, nanowires with diameters ranging from 30 to 160 nm were obtained. Raman spectra of the nanowires ensembles were measured.…
Titanium dioxide (TiO$_2$) has rich physical properties with potential implications in both fundamental physics and new applications. Up-to-date, the main focus of applied research is to tune its optical properties, which is usually done…
Diamond properties down to the quantum-size region are still poorly understood. High-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) synthesis from chloroadamantane molecules allows precise control of nanodiamond size. Thermal stability and optical…
We report the atomic layer deposition of titanium dioxide on carbon nanosheet templates and investigate the effects of post-deposition annealing in a helium environment using different characterization techniques. The crystallization of the…
Thin TiO2 films on quartz substrates were prepared by spin coating of undoped and metal-ion-doped Sol Gel precursors. These films were characterised by Scanning Electron Microscopy, Laser Raman Microspectroscopy, Xray Diffraction and UV Vis…
1LO optical phonons in free-standing mixed Cd1-xZnxS nanocrystals, synthesized using chemical precipitation, are investigated using Raman spectroscopy. As expected for the nanocrystals, the 1-LO modes are found to appear at slightly lower…
Titanium dioxide is one of the most widely investigated oxides. This is due to its broad range of applications, from catalysis to photocatalysis to photovoltaics. Despite this large interest, many of its bulk properties have been sparsely…
Raman spectra from silicon nanostructures, recorded using excitation laser power density of 1.0 kW/cm^2, is employed here to reveal the dominance of thermal effects at temperatures higher than the room temperature. Room temperature Raman…
The present article describes the size induced changes in the structural arrangement of intrinsic defects present in chemically synthesized ZnO nanoparticles of various sizes. Routine X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron…
Different peak trends of tiny grains carbon film have been observed under the investigations of Raman spectroscopy and energy loss spectroscopy. Carbon films known in nanocrystalline and ultra-nanocrystalline diamond films are synthesized…
We address one of the main challenges to TiO2-photocatalysis, namely band gap narrowing, by combining nanostructural changes with doping. With this aim we compare TiO2's electronic properties for small 0D clusters, 1D nanorods and…
An analytical form of the Raman shift dependence on size of nanocrystals is presented. Based on the hard confinement model, it works in those cases where the average phonon curve shows a quadratic dependence on the phonon quasi-momentum in…
Ruthenium dioxide (RuO$_2$) thin films were synthesized by Chemical Solution Deposition (CSD) on silicon substrates using only water and acetic acid as solvents. The microstructure, phase-purity, electrical and optical properties as well as…
Titanium (Ti) is an adhesion and contact metal commonly used in nanoelectronics and two-dimensional (2D) materials research. However, when Ti is deposited on graphene (Gr), we obtain dramatically different film morphology depending on the…
Titanium Oxynitride (TiOxNy) thin films are fabricated using reactive magnetron sputtering. The mechanism of their growth formation is explained and their optical properties are presented. The films grown when the level of residual Oxygen…
TaN thin film is an attractive interlayer as well as a diffusion barrier layer in [FeN/TaN](n) multilayers for the application as potential write-head materials in high-density magnetic recording. We synthesized two series of TaN films on…
We propose a systematic approach to obtain various forms of insulating titanium oxynitrides Ti$_{n}$N$_{2}$O$_{2n-3}$ and we conduct a detailed study on its $n=2$ case, Ti$_{2}$N$_{2}$O. We study the energetics and the electronic structures…
