RAMAN SHIFT (cm-1)<br />

Figure 8.11. Raman spectra of Ge nanocrystallites produced by gas condensation showing the<br />

broadening and shift <strong>to</strong> lower wavenumbers as the particle size decreases. The lowest spectrum<br />

was obtained from ground bulk germanium. [From S. Hayashi, M. I<strong>to</strong>, and H. Kanamori, Solid<br />

State Commun. 44, 75 (1 982).]<br />
