Abstract

Specially designed laser heating experiment along with Raman mapping on Si-SiO2 nanocomposites elucidates the contribution of core and surface/interface in the intermediate frequency range (511-514 cm-1) Si phonons. The contribution of core to surface/interface increases with the size of Si nanocrystal, which itself increases on laser irradiation. Further, it is found that resonance Raman is crucial to the observance of surface/interface phonons and wavelength dependent Raman mapping can be corroborated with band edges observed in absorption spectra. This understanding can be gainfully used to manipulate and characterize Si-SiO2 nanocomposite, simultaneously for photovoltaic device applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
