Confined acoustic and optical phonons in Si nanoclusters embedded in sapphire, synthesized using ion-beam implantation are investigated using Raman spectroscopy. The l = 0 and l = 2 confined acoustic phonons, found at low Raman shift, are…
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…
Strong light-matter coupling gives rise to polaritons -- quasiparticles that combine both photonic and material characteristics. Here, we show that polar nanocrystals exhibit structure- and environment-dependent Raman scattering, enabled by…
In the present paper, we utilize the coupled-oscillator model describing the hybridization of optical phonons in touching and/or overlapping particles in order to study the Raman spectra of nanoparticles organized into various types of…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Raman spectroscopy of crystalline/molecular systems is well backed with quantum chemical calculations and group theory, making it a unique characterization tool. For the "intermediate" case of nanoscale systems, however, the use of Raman…
Phonons-quantized vibrational modes in crystalline structures-govern phenomena ranging from thermal and mechanical transport to quantum mechanics. In recent years, a new class of artificial materials called phononic crystals has emerged,…
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,…
We have measured polarized spectra of Raman scattering, infrared and optical transmission of NaV_2O_5 single crystals above the temperature of the spin-Peierls transition Tsp=35 K. Some of the far-infrared (FIR) phonon lines are strongly…
A theoretical study describing the coherence properties of near-field Raman scattering in two- and one-dimensional systems is presented. The model is applied to the Raman modes of pristine graphene and graphene edges. Our analysis is based…
Phonons diffraction and interference patterns are observed at the atomic scale, using molecular dynamics simulations in systems containing crystalline silicon and nanometric obstacles as voids or amorphous-inclusions. The diffraction…
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…
Together with their fingerprint modes, molecules carry coherent vibrations of all their atoms (phonons). Phonon spectra extend from $\sim$20 to more than $10^{4}\,\mu$m, depending on molecular size. These spectra are discrete but large…
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…
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 used Raman scattering for study the phonon modes of self-organized Ge/Si quantum dots, grown by a molecular-beam epitaxy method. It is revealed, that Ge-Ge and Si-Ge vibrational modes considerably intensify at excitation of exciton…
