Coherent electron-lattice vibrations in trans-nanopolyacetylene probed by Raman scattering.

چکیده
Unexpectedly high Raman scattering activity of carbon-carbon bond length vibrations was found in polyacetylene nanoparticles. For exciting photon energy in the transparency range of nanopolyacetylene we observed extremely high Raman scattering cross section and high intensity ratio of anti-Stokes to Stokes bands. Furthermore, the Raman activity in trans-nanopolyacetylene is characterized by intensive overtones and combinations. We present a qualitative nonlinear model of coherent weakly damped electron-lattice vibrations in ordered trans-polyacetylene chains.

We report on a new high-resolution optical spectroscopy, coherent phonon measurement, for determining the chiral index of carbon nanotubes. Using femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy, we demonstrate the real-time observation of lattice vibrations in individualized single-walled carbon nanotubes in an aqueous surfactant solution. Almost all available radial breathing modes in the Fourier transfor...
متن کاملOrbital Excitations in LaMnO3
We study the recently observed orbital excitations, orbitons, and treat electron-electron correlations and lattice dynamics on an equal footing. It is shown that the orbiton energy and dispersion are determined by both correlations and lattice vibrations. The electron-phonon coupling causes satellite structures in the orbiton spectral function and the elementary excitations of the system are mi...
متن کاملElectronic and Vibratonal Properties of Gas Hydrates
INTRODUCTION The most unique physical property of gas hydrate is the anomalous low and unexpected glassy-like thermal conductivity [ I ,2]. This interesting behaviour has both significant practical and scientific consequences. Thermal conductivity is a vital parameter required for the computer modelling of the recovery of natural gas from the hydrate [3]. A knowledge on the variation of the the...
متن کاملMolecular identification by generating coherence between molecular normal modes using stimulated Raman scattering.
We propose a method of driving the vibrations of normal modes of a target molecule into coherence using stimulated Raman scattering. In concert many vibrations can produce a larger anti-Stokes signal than a single vibration. The same illumination does not drive other molecules to have coherent vibrations so that these molecules produce a weaker signal. We investigate how target and confounder m...
متن کاملQuantifying electron-phonon coupling in CdTe12xSex nanocrystals via coherent phonon manipulation
We employ ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy with temporal pulse shaping to manipulate coherent phonon excitation and quantify the strength of electron-phonon coupling in CdTe1 xSex nanocrystals (NCs). Raman active CdSe and CdTe longitudinal optical phonon (LO) modes are excited and probed in the time domain. By temporally controlling pump pulse pairs to coherently excite and cancel co...
