Abstract
Semiconductor nanocrystals of a size comparable to or smaller than the ex-citon Bohr radius in the bulk material are attracting much attention from the fundamental physics viewpoint and from interest in their application to functional devices [1–3]. In particular, their novel optical properties because of discrete electronic energy levels have been investigated extensively [4,5]. In semiconductor nanocrystals, not only the electronic energy levels but also the lattice vibrational modes become discrete due to three-dimensional confinement. The consequences of the latter feature, namely phonon confinement, have been studied extensively. The longitudinal optical (LO) phonons in semiconductor nanocrystals were observed by resonance Raman scattering [6–8], and the size dependence of the electron-LO-phonon coupling strength was discussed [7,9,10]. Also, the size-quantized acoustic phonon modes were observed by low-frequency Raman scattering [11] and were discussed extensively [12].
