RAMAN SPECTROSCOPYScattering mechanisms Rayleigh Mie Raman - local modes, vibrations, rotations Brillouin - collective modes (sound) Elastic Random motions Vibrations Rotations
Raman scattering • Detects normal modes • Vibrations or rotations in gases or liquids • Phonon modes in solids • Fingerprint of bonds (elements) • Sensitive to • State of matter, crystalline or amorphous • Defects • Particle size • Temperature • …. • Experimental: narrow laser line + good spectrometer
Raman scatteringInteraction between applied field and normal modes Applied optical field: Induces polarization Polarizability Vibrations: Displacement Raman active modes: Small amplitudes -e +e
Raman Lines Polarization Momentum selection rule: k₀ - k q +G=0 Only transitions at q=0
Selection rules – Raman active modes: Polarizability ellipsoids of molecule. is Raman active: the polarizability is different at the two extremes. On the other hand and are not Raman active.
Raman scattering from Si nanocrystalsBonds in Si (Diamond structure) S1: Vibrational frequencies (0.1 eV) S2: Optical frequencies (3.4 eV)
Phonons in bulk Si Experiments: Neutron scattering
Size effects in phonon modes • Well-known for thin films • 0-D systems: • No band gap in amorphous matrix - reduce confinement effects • Fluctuations in size, shape, and orientation • Effect on Raman spectrum: • Shift of peak • Broadening of line • selection rule lifted -
