Confined excitons, phonons and their interactions in Ge nanocrystals embedded in SiO2

Conference ·
OSTI ID:788073

The authors report the resonant Raman scattering of the optical phonon in Ge nanocrystals with radius ranging from 2 to 5 nm. They have observed the effect of quantum confinement on both the optical phonon and the E{sub 1} exciton. The confinement energy of the E{sub 1} exciton has been explained within the effective mass approximation.
