Composition-spread La1-xSrxMnO3 thin films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition technique from LaMnO3 and SrMnO3 targets. The films were epitaxial with a continuous variation of the out of plane lattice parameter along the direction of composition gradient. Scanning Raman spectroscopy has been employed as a non-destructive tool to characterize the composition-spread films. Raman spectra showed the variation of the structural, Jahn Teller distortions and the presence of coexisting phases at particular compositions that are in agreement with the previous observation on the single crystal samples. Raman spectra on the continuous composition-spread film also reveal the effect of disorder and strain on the compositions.

We have used Raman spectroscopy to study indium nitride thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (111) silicon substrates at temperatures between 450 and 550 C. The Raman spectra show well defined peaks at 443, 475, 491, and 591 cm{-1}, which co
rrespond to the A_1(TO), E_1(TO), E_2^{high}, and A_1(LO) phonons of the wurtzite structure, respectively. In backscattering normal to the surface the A_1(TO) and E_1(TO) peaks are very weak, indicating that the films grow along the hexagonal c axis. The dependence of the peak width on growth temperature reveals that the optimum temperature is 500 C, for which the fullwidth of the E_2^{high} peak has the minimum value of 7 cm{-1}. This small value, comparable to previous results for InN films grown on sapphire, is evidence of the good crystallinity of the films.
Raman spectroscopy is utilized to study the magnetic characteristics of heteroepitaxial NiO thin films grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on MgO(100) substrates. For the determination of the Neel temperature, we demonstrate a reliable ap
proach by analyzing the temperature dependence of the Raman peak originating from second-order scattering by magnons. The antiferromagnetic coupling strength is found to be strongly influenced by the growth conditions. The low-temperature magnon frequency and the Neel temperature are demonstrated to depend on the biaxial lattice strain and the degree of structural disorder which is dominated by point defects.
Graphene edges are of particular interest, since their chirality determines the electronic properties. Here we present a detailed Raman investigation of graphene flakes with well defined edges oriented at different crystallographic directions. The po
sition, width and intensity of G and D peaks at the edges are studied as a function of the incident light polarization. The D-band is strongest for light polarized parallel to the edge and minimum for perpendicular orientation. Raman mapping shows that the D peak is localized in proximity of the edge. The D to G ratio does not always show a significant dependence on edge orientation. Thus, even though edges can appear macroscopically smooth and oriented at well defined angles, they are not necessarily microscopically ordered.
We have investigated antidot lattices, which were prepared on exfoliated graphene single layers via electron-beam lithography and ion etching, by means of scanning Raman spectroscopy. The peak positions, peak widths and intensities of the characteris
tic phonon modes of the carbon lattice have been studied systematically in a series of samples. In the patterned samples, we found a systematic stiffening of the G band mode, accompanied by a line narrowing, while the 2D mode energies are found to be linearly correlated with the G mode energies. We interpret this as evidence for p-type doping of the nanostructured graphene.
We model Raman processes in silicene and germanene involving scattering of quasiparticles by, either, two phonons, or, one phonon and one point defect. We compute the resonance Raman intensities and lifetimes for laser excitations between 1 and 3$,$e
V using a newly developed third-nearest neighbour tight-binding model parametrized from first principles density functional theory. We identify features in the Raman spectra that are unique to the studied materials or the defects therein. We find that in silicene, a new Raman resonance arises from the $2.77,rm$eV $pi-sigma$ plasmon at the M point, measurably higher than the Raman resonance originating from the $2.12,rm$eV $pi$ plasmon energy. We show that in germanene, the lifetimes of charge carriers, and thereby the linewidths of the Raman peaks, are influenced by spin-orbit splittings within the electronic structure. We use our model to predict scattering cross sections for defect induced Raman scattering involving adatoms, substitutional impurities, Stone-Wales pairs, and vacancies, and argue that the presence of each of these defects in silicene and germanene can be qualitatively matched to specific features in the Raman response.
