摘要
We have studied the hydrostatic pressure dependence of Ge nanocrystals embedded into SiO2 matrix on quartz-glass substrate by Raman scattering at room temperature. The pressure coefficient (domega/dP = 0.77 cm(-1) kbar(-1)) obtained for the Ge-Ge mode in the nanocrystals is found to be almost twice as large compared with its corresponding bulk value (domega/dP = 0.39 cm(-1) kbar(-1)). We explained our results using a simple elastic model, which describes the effective pressure transmitted from the matrix to the nanocrystals, (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
