    Abstract

    By experimentally examining and theoretically analyzing the Raman spectra of SixGe1-x nanocrystal-embedded silica films, we show that the 430 cm-1 Si-Si optical phonon mode can be used as a fingerprint to identify the existence of local silicon cluster nanostructures inside SixGe1-x nanocrystals with high silicon content. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2010.
