Raman spectroscopy determination of the Debye temperature and atomic cohesive energy of CdS, CdSe, Bi2Se3, and Sb2Te3 nanostructures

We have formulated the size and temperature dependence of the phonon relaxation dynamics for CdS, CdSe, Bi2Se3, and Sb2Te3 nanostructures based on the framework of bond order–length–strength correlation, core-shell configuration, and local bond averaging approach. The Raman shifts are correlated dir...
