Studies by Raman spectroscopy of two kinds of Si/SiGenanostructures—quantum dot multilayers and planarsuperlattices—reveal a wide variety of spectral features including first- and second-order Raman scattering, polarized Raman scattering, and low-frequency inelastic light scattering associated with folded acoustic phonons. Here we overview how such features can be employed to semi-quantitatively analyze the strain, chemical composition, and thermal conductivity in these industrially important materials that are widely used for producing electronic and optoelectronic devices.

An end-station for X-ray Raman scattering spectroscopy at beamline ID20 of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility is described. This end-station is dedicated to the study of shallow core electronic excitations using non-resonant inelastic X-ray scattering. The spectrometer has 72 spherically bent analyzer crystals arranged in six modular groups of 12 analyzer crystals each for a combined maximum flexibility and large solid angle of detection. Each of the six analyzer modules houses one pixelated area detector allowing for X-ray Raman scattering based imaging and efficient separation of the desired signal from the sample and spurious scattering from the often used complicated sample environments. This new end-station provides an unprecedented instrument for X-ray Raman scattering, which is a spectroscopic tool of great interest for the study of low-energy X-ray absorption spectra in materials under in situ conditions, such as in operando batteries and fuel cells, in situ catalytic reactions, and extreme pressure and temperature conditions.
