Photoluminescence is observed at room temperature from phonon-assisted band-to-band emission in Si (1.067 eV peak) using unpatterned bulk p-type silicon wafer samples that were spin-coated with Er-doped (6 at. %) silica-gel films (0.13…
The structural modifications of polycrystalline hexagonal boron nitride implanted with He+ ion beams at energies between 200 keV and 1.2 MeV to fluences of 1.0 \times 1017 ions \cdot cm-2 were investigated using micro-Raman spectroscopy.…
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…
Self-ion implantation amorphization is an established approach to study the structure and properties of amorphous silicon (a-Si). Fluctuation Electron Microscopy (FEM) has consistently observed Medium-Range Order (MRO) in this system that…
We have characterized the growth of ZnO using sequential infiltration synthesis (SiS) on PS-b-PMMA block copolymers (BCP) of spherical and cylindrical sub-20nm morphologies and studied how the photoluminescence of these nanostructures…
For the first time, high optical quality InN films were grown on sapphire substrate using atmospheric chemical vapour deposition technique in the temperature range of 560-650 oC. Self-catalytic approach was adopted to overcome the…
We report absorption and photoluminescence spectra of Si and SnO$_2$ polycrystalline nanofilms in the UV-Vis-NIR range, featuring discrete bands resulting from transverse quantum confinement. The film thickness ranged 3.9 nm to 12.2 nm,…
We study the surface plasmon (SP) resonance energy of isolated spherical Ag nanoparticles dispersed on a silicon nitride substrate in the diameter range 3.5-26 nm with monochromated electron energy-loss spectroscopy. A significant blueshift…
Gallium oxide (Ga$_2$O$_3$) is a wide-bandgap semiconductor with exceptional electrical and optical properties, making it a promising material for optoelectronic and sensing applications. In this work, we demonstrate for the first time 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…
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.…
We report optical absorption and photoluminescence spectra of Au, Fe, Co and Ni polycrystalline nanofilms in the UV-Vis-NIR range, featuring discrete bands resulting from transverse quantum confinement. The film thickness ranged from 1.1 to…
Structural modifications in InP(111) due to 1.5 MeV implantation of Sb have been characterized using first order and second order Raman spectroscopy. With both Longitudinal Optical (LO) and Transverse Optical (TO) modes allowed for…
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…
Raman spectroscopic investigations are carried out on one-dimensional nanostructures of InN,such as nanowires and nanobelts synthesized by chemical vapor deposition. In addition to the optical phonons allowed by symmetry; A1, E1 and…
B and N K-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements have been performed on three BN thin films grown on Si substrates using ion-assisted pulsed laser deposition. Comparison of the films' spectra to those of several single-phase BN…
This work presents how first-principles simulations validated through experimental measurements lead to a new accurate prediction of the expected Raman shift as a function of strain in silicon. Structural relaxation of a strained primitive…
We report temporal changes in Raman-scattering spectra of detwinned YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$ single crystals under exposure to red laser light polarized along the crystallographic $a$-axis. A recent publication by Bakr et al. (Phys. Rev. B 88…
The role of interface states and dielectric mismatch is studied in ultrathin P-doped silicon-on-insulator (SOI) films with thickness of the device layer ($H_{SOI}$) varying from 30 to 8 nm and dopant concentration ($n_{D}$) ranging from…
The nanoconfinement of water can result in dramatic differences in its physical and chemical properties compared to bulk water. However, a detailed molecular-level understanding of these properties is still lacking. Vibrational…
