Disorder in graphite is studied as a function of phonon softening of Raman active modes. A comprehensive analysis of disorder is discussed here using the G and D modes of the graphite. Two-dimensional disorder is manifested in the correlation length of the sp2 hybridization in the graphitic plane. It is characterized here by lineshape analysis of Raman activated G and D modes. Phonon softening of the G mode is almost insensitive to disorder. It is more asymmetric on the lower energy side with increasing disorder. Phonon softening and line broadening of the D mode have high sensitivity to disorder in polycrystalline graphite. Electron–phonon coupling is responsible for phonon softening and line broadening of the D mode, which is double-resonant Raman scattering involving disorder, electron, and TO (tansverse optical) phonon. Increasing disorder allows TO phonons of higher wavevector and lower energy during double-resonant Raman scattering.

ABSTRACTWe report pressure and laser tuned Raman scattering studies on CdSxSei1-x nanocrystals. The electron-phonon coupling strength was determined as a function of pressure beyond the bulk phase transition pressure point. The coupling strength at atmospheric pressure determined from the Stokes shifted photoluminescence and resonant Raman scattering is not drastically smaller than the bulk value as might be expected theoretically. As a function of pressure it also shows no abrupt changes at the bulk phase transition pressure point. These results indicate that deep traps play a critical part in the mechanism of the electron-phonon coupling.

AbstractThe temperature effect on the Raman scattering efficiency is investigated in $$\varepsilon$$ ε -GaSe and $$\gamma$$ γ -InSe crystals. We found that varying the temperature over a broad range from 5 to 350 K permits to achieve both the resonant conditions and the antiresonance behaviour in Raman scattering of the studied materials. The resonant conditions of Raman scattering are observed at about 270 K under the 1.96 eV excitation for GaSe due to the energy proximity of the optical band gap. In the case of InSe, the resonant Raman spectra are apparent at about 50 and 270 K under correspondingly the 2.41 eV and 2.54 eV excitations as a result of the energy proximity of the so-called B transition. Interestingly, the observed resonances for both materials are followed by an antiresonance behaviour noticeable at higher temperatures than the detected resonances. The significant variations of phonon-modes intensities can be explained in terms of electron-phonon coupling and quantum interference of contributions from different points of the Brillouin zone.
