The purpose of this review is to provide non-specialists with a basic understanding of the
information micro-Raman Spectroscopy (μRS) may yield when this characterization tool is …

This report deals with the mechanism behind the unusual behavior of nanostructures in
mechanical strength, thermal stability, acoustics (lattice dynamics), photonics, electronics …

Nanodiamonds (ND) exhibit unique properties due to their small size and high surface-to-
volume ratio compared to bulk diamonds. A reduction in crystal size also affects ND Raman …

Pulsed x-ray scattering is used to examine the lattice dynamics in gold nanoparticles in
water following excitation with intense femtosecond laser pulses. At lower excitation power …

Plasmonic nanostructures have attracted considerable attention for their ability to couple
with light and provide strong electromagnetic energy confinement at subwavelength …

Coherent acoustic phonons modulate optical, electronic and mechanical properties at
ultrahigh frequencies and can be exploited for applications such as ultratrace chemical …

We study the origin of the spectral line shape in colloidal CdSe nanocrystal quantum dots.
The three-pulse photon echo peak shift (3PEPS) data reveal a temperature-independent fast …

The vibrational modes in three-dimensional ordered arrays of unembedded S i O 2
nanospheres have been studied by Brillouin light scattering. Multiple distinct Brillouin peaks …

A review of recent applications of Raman spectroscopy as a fast, sensitive, and non-
destructive technique for exploring II–VI semiconductor nanocrystals fabricated by various …

The interest in micro and tip‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy in analyzing nanosized and
nanostructured materials, chiefly semiconductors, oxides and pristine or functionalized …
