摘要
The phonon confinement effect was investigated by Raman measurements for Si nanowires (SiNWs) synthesized by laser ablation of a Si target with nickel (Ni) catalyst and for SiNWs thermally oxidized at 700-1000 degrees C. The Si optical phonon peak for SiNWs, unlike that for bulk Si, showed a downshift and an asymmetric broadening. Thermal oxidation caused a further downshift and broadening. These phenomena can be explained by the phonon confinement effect due to the decrease in the diameter of the Si core of the SiNWs. It was additionally found that excess oxidation caused an upshift of the optical phonon peak due to compressive stress. (c) 2006 Published by Elsevier B.V.
