Main Results:

  • Observed shifts in CdSe (LO1, SO1) and CdS (LO2, SO2) phonon modes with increasing shell thickness.
  • LO2 peak shifts align with the phonon confinement model.
  • SO1 shifts indicate changes in the CdSe core's dielectric environment.
  • First-time observation of SO2 modes and agreement with dielectric models.
  • A novel Raman peak at 482 cm⁻¹ suggests alloying at the core-shell interface.

Conclusions:

  • Raman spectroscopy is effective for determining shell thickness in CdSe/CdS nanocrystals.
  • Phonon modes provide insights into core-shell interactions and dielectric properties.
  • The observed alloying peak highlights the importance of interface engineering.
