The purpose of this review is to provide non-specialists with a basic understanding of the
information micro-Raman Spectroscopy (μRS) may yield when this characterization tool is …

Phonons play a key role in the physical properties of materials, and have long been a topic
of study in physics. While the effects of phonons had historically been considered to be a …

Carrier and phonon dynamics in Bi 2 Se 3 crystals are studied by a spatially resolved
ultrafast pump-probe technique. Pronounced oscillations in differential reflection are …

The vibrational modes in three-dimensional ordered arrays of unembedded S i O 2
nanospheres have been studied by Brillouin light scattering. Multiple distinct Brillouin peaks …

Multiple energy scales contribute to the radiative properties of colloidal quantum dots,
including magnetic interactions, crystal field splitting, Pauli exclusion, and phonons …

III-V solid solutions are sensitive to growth conditions due to their stochastic nature. The
highly crystalline thin films require a profound understanding of the material properties and …

We present a review of properties of ultracold atomic Fermi-Bose mixtures in
inhomogeneous and random optical lattices. In the strong interacting limit and at very low …

Single perovskite nanocrystals have attracted great research attention very recently due to
their potential quantum-information applications, which critically depend on the development …

We report on the direct observation of confined acoustic phonons in the photoluminescence
spectra of single CdSe-CdS-ZnS nanocrystals, whose ligands were exchanged to poly …

A survey of results on use of semiconductor-doped glass saturable absorbers for near-
infrared passively mode-locked and Q-switched solid-state lasers is presented. Nanosized …
