Description

The results of a resonant Raman scattering (RRS) study of polymer-stabilized colloidal CdSe nanoparticles (NPs) are reported. The size-selective nature of the RRS is demonstrated by analysing the NP ensembles with different average size d-bar and size distribution Δd using a set of excitation wavelengths. The effect of size selection on the estimation of d-bar and Δd values from the RRS spectra is discussed, as well as some peculiarities of RRS on surface optical phonons. From the experimentally observed small variation of the I2LO/ILO ratio for 2-5 nm NPs a minor effect of d-bar on the electron-phonon coupling strength in this d-bar range is supposed
