Abstract

We report pressure and laser tuned Raman scattering studies on CdSxSei1-x nanocrystals. The electron-phonon coupling strength was determined as a function of pressure beyond the bulk phase transition pressure point. The coupling strength at atmospheric pressure determined from the Stokes shifted photoluminescence and resonant Raman scattering is not drastically smaller than the bulk value as might be expected theoretically. As a function of pressure it also shows no abrupt changes at the bulk phase transition pressure point. These results indicate that deep traps play a critical part in the mechanism of the electron-phonon coupling.
