Description

Resonant Raman scattering spectra of ultrasmall (<2 nm) magic-size nanocrystals (NCs) are reported. The spectra of CdS and CdSx Se1-x NCs, resonantly excited with 325 nm and 442 nm laser lines, correspondingly, reveal broad features in the range of bulk optical phonons. The relatively large width, ∝50 cm-1, and downward shift, ∝20 cm-1, of the Raman bands with respect to the longitudinal optical phonon in bulk crystals and large NCs are discussed based on the breaking of the translational symmetry and bond distortion in these ultrasmall NCs.
