چکیده

Terahertz time domain spectroscopy has been used to study low frequency confined acoustic phonons of silver nanoparticles embedded in poly(vinyl alcohol) matrix in the spectral range of 0.1-2.5 THz. The real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function show two bands at 0.60 and 2.12 THz attributed to the spheroidal and toroidal modes of silver nanoparticles, thus demonstrating the usefulness of terahertz time domain spectroscopy as a complementary technique to Raman spectroscopy in characterizing the nanoparticles.

Far-infrared characteristics of ZnS nanoparticles measured by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy.

The optical and dielectric properties of ZnS nanoparticles are studied by use of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) over the frequency range from 0.3 to 3.0 THz. The effective medium approach combined with the pseudo-harmonic model of the dielectric response, where nanoparticles are embedded in the host medium, provides a good fit on the experimental results. The extrapolation of the ...

Time-Domain Terahertz Magneto-Spectroscopy of Semiconductors

The terahertz frequency range, 0.1-10 THz, is one of the richest frequency ranges in condensed matter spectroscopy. Many important excitations and dynamical phenomena occur in this range, including superconducting gaps, protein conformational modes, phonons, and plasmons, just to name a few. Spectroscopic studies in this region provide valuable insights into the quantum states and dynamics of c...

Ultrafast Spectroscopy of Fano-Like Resonance between Optical Phonon and Excitons in CdSe Quantum Dots: Dependence of Coherent Vibrational Wave-Packet Dynamics on Pump Fluence

The main goal of the present work is to study the coherent phonon in strongly confined CdSe quantum dots (QDs) under varied pump fluences. The main characteristics of coherent phonons (amplitude, frequency, phase, spectrogram) of CdSe QDs under the red-edge pump of the excitonic band [1S(e)-1S3/2(h)] are reported. We demonstrate for the first time that the amplitude of the coherent optical long...

Optical phonon dynamics of GaAs studied with time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy.

We investigate the reflection near the reststrahlen band of the optical phonon in bulk GaAs in the time domain, using time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy. We find that the dynamics of the reflection measured for GaAs differs strongly from the reflection dynamics that would be expected for a TO phonon with a frequency-independent dephasing time.

GROWTH OF CdS,Sel-, NANOPARTICLES IN GLASS MATRIX BY ISOCHRONAL THERMAL ANNEALING : CONFINED ACOUSTIC PHONONS AND OPTICAL ABSORPTION STUDIES

We have studied the thermal stability of CdSo.&%.lz nanoparticles embedded in a glass matrix as a function of isochronal thermal annealing from 25 "C to 650 "C. The average size and the size distribution of the particles have been determined from the detailed analysis of optical absorption spectra based on the available results of tight binding calculations and also from the low frequency Raman...
