Abstract
Resonance Raman scattering was carried out on polycrystalline zinc sulfide (ZnS) thin film. The resonance Raman spectra revealed strong carrier–phonon interaction where longitudinal optical phonon (LO) with overtones up to the fourth order and its combination phonons with transverse acoustic (TA) phonons were observed, namely, nLO + mTA (where n and m are integers). The resonance Raman scattering processes were well explained within the framework of the cascade scattering model. The wavenumber of the LO phonon with increased temperature was dominated by anharmonic phonon decay. Detailed experimental data fittings showed that thermal expansion contribution to the nLO phonon overtones differed from the fundamental LO phonon due to the involvement of the scattering of the LO phonons at the Brillion zone edge. The negative value of the mode-Grüneisen parameter for the TA phonon slowed down the wavenumber shift of the combination nLO + mTA phonon modes with increasing temperature compared to the nLO phonons. The anharmonic phonon decay of combination nLO + mTA phonons were dominated by anharmonic phonon decay of nLO phonons.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Raman Spectroscopy is an international journal dedicated to the publication of original research at the cutting edge of all areas of science and technology related to Raman spectroscopy. The journal seeks to be the central forum for documenting the evolution of the broadly-defined field of Raman spectroscopy that includes an increasing number of rapidly developing techniques and an ever-widening array of interdisciplinary applications.
Such topics include time-resolved, coherent and non-linear Raman spectroscopies, nanostructure-based surface-enhanced and tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopies of molecules, resonance Raman to investigate the structure-function relationships and dynamics of biological molecules, linear and nonlinear Raman imaging and microscopy, biomedical applications of Raman, theoretical formalism and advances in quantum computational methodology of all forms of Raman scattering, Raman spectroscopy in archaeology and art, advances in remote Raman sensing and industrial applications, and Raman optical activity of all classes of chiral molecules.
