Abstract:
We have theoretically investigated a hybrid nanocrystal complex consisted of a metal nanoparticle (MNP) and a semiconductor quantum dot (SQD) embedded in a nanomechanical resonator in the simultaneous presence of a strong control field and a weak probe field. It is shown that the resonance amplification peak of the probe spectrum will enhance dramatically due to the coupling of the plasmon, exciton and nanomechanical resonator. The enhancement increases significantly with decreasing the distance between the metal nanoparticle and a quantum dot, which implies the strong plasmon enhancement effect in this coupled system. The results obtained here may have the potential applications such as tunable Raman lasers and bio-sensors.

IR Absorption Frequency: Hybridization
Among the sp, sp2, and sp3 hybridized orbitals, sp orbitals have the maximum s character (50%). Consequently, the electrons are held more closely to the nucleus, resulting in stronger and shorter C–H bonds that stretch at a...

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
