This article reports on a project that observed the enhancement of a transverse optical (TO) phonon mode of e1 symmetry and a normally forbidden surface optical (SO) phonon mode of b1 symmetry in CdSe quantum dots (QDs) due to adsorption of 4-mercaptopyridine molecules.
Abstract
The former was observed in 3, 4, and 5 nm diameter particles, while the latter was observed only in the 2 nm particles. Maximum enhancement of the phonon modes was obtained through a coupling of the charge-transfer transition and the exciton transition, which are in resonance with the laser energy. Selection rules, using Herzberg–Teller (vibronic) coupling, were invoked to explain the observed enhancements. (publisher abstract modified)
