摘要
AgI nanocrystals were synthesized in reverse micelles. From X-ray diffraction patterns the nanocrystals were found to exhibit predominantly a zincblende structure. The exciton absorption was blueshifted and inhomogeneously broadened due to spatial confinement and the particle size distribution. "Free" exciton luminescence was weak. Instead, in addition to donor-acceptor recombination, a strong LO multiphonon Raman scattering was observed under resonant excitation in the exciton absorption. An LO phonon energy of 15.4 meV was derived and the incoming and outgoing resonances with the exciton were investigated. All results were consistent with the case of weak exciton confinement.
