An ``abnormal'' Raman features of phonons in nano-structures
ORAL
Abstract
The Raman features of nanostructures are dependent of their sizes due to the small size effect. This has been confirmed by many observations, for example, the observation on the correlation between the size of Si-, and C- nano-structure and their Raman frequencies. But we also observed strangely that Raman frequencies of single- and multiple- phonons are both independent of the size for the optical modes in polar nano-semiconductors, although all of other phonon frequencies are changed with sample size. The calculation of theoretical Raman spectra, except for exhibiting a similar result, explored that the above phonon feature is due to the long-range Coulomb (Fr\"ohlich) interaction existing in polar nano-semiconductors.
