Structural modifications in InP(111) due to 1.5 MeV implantation of Sb have been characterized using first order and second order Raman spectroscopy. With both Longitudinal Optical (LO) and Transverse Optical (TO) modes allowed for InP(111), we have investigated the evolution of both these modes as a function of fluence. Intensity, linewidth and shifts of the phonons, for both first order and second order Raman modes, display the increase in damage in the lattice with increasing fluence. The results suggest that the presence of a charge layer in the vicinity of the surface may be effecting the first order Raman data. A LO phonon-plasmon coupled mode, due to the charge layer, has also been observed that becomes sharper and more intense with increasing fluence. Results also show the presence of tensile stress along with the coexistence of crystalline InP regions and amorphous zones in the lattice. Consequently phonon confinement is observed. Phonon Confinement model (PCM) has been applied here to estimate the coherence length and the size of nano-crystalline zones in InP lattice after implantation. A crystalline/ amorphous (c/a) phase transition is observed at the fluence of $1times10^{14} ions/cm^{2}$. The electron-phonon coupling strength has been measured by utilizing the second order Raman modes. This coupling strength is seen to decrease as the nano-crystalline zones, in the implanted lattice, become smaller.

We report the existence of broad and weakly asymmetric features in the high-energy (G) Raman modes of freely suspended metallic carbon nanotubes of defined chiral index. A significant variation in peak width (from 12 cm-1 to 110 cm-1) is observed as
a function of the nanotubes chiral structure. When the nanotubes are electrostatically gated, the peak widths decrease. The broadness of the Raman features is understood as the consequence of coupling of the phonon to electron-hole pairs, the strength of which varies with the nanotube chiral index and the position of the Fermi energy.
We present a comprehensive ab initio study of structural, electronic, lattice dynamical and electron-phonon coupling properties of the Bi(111) surface within density functional perturbation theory. Relativistic corrections due to spin-orbit coupling
are consistently taken into account. As calculations are carried out in a periodic slab geometry, special attention is given to the convergence with respect to the slab thickness. Although the electronic structure of Bi(111) thin films varies significantly with thickness, we found that the lattice dynamics of Bi(111) is quite robust and appears converged already for slabs as thin as 6 bilayers. Changes of interatomic couplings are confined mostly to the first two bilayers, resulting in super-bulk modes with frequencies higher than the optic bulk spectrum, and in an enhanced density of states at lower frequencies for atoms in the first bilayer. Electronic states of the surface band related to the outer part of the hole Fermi surfaces exhibit a moderate electron-phonon coupling of about 0.45, which is larger than the coupling constant of bulk Bi. States at the inner part of the hole surface as well as those forming the electron pocket close to the zone center show much increased couplings due to transitions into bulk projected states near Gamma_bar. For these cases, the state dependent Eliashberg functions exhibit pronounced peaks at low energy and strongly deviate in shape from a Debye-like spectrum, indicating that an extraction of the coupling strength from measured electronic self-energies based on this simple model is likely to fail.
We report time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements on the Sb(111) surface. We observe band- and momentum-dependent binding-energy oscillations in the bulk and surface bands driven by $A_{1g}$ and $E_{g}$ coherent phonons. Whil
e the bulk band shows simultaneous $A_{1g}$ and $E_{g}$ oscillations, the surface bands show either $A_{1g}$ or $E_{g}$ oscillations. The observed behavior is reproduced by frozen-phonon calculations based on density-functional theory. This evidences the connection between electron-phonon coupling and coherent binding energy dynamics.
We have studied the topological insulator Bi$_2$Te$_3$(111) by means of helium atom scattering. The average electron-phonon coupling $lambda$ of Bi$_2$Te$_3$(111) is determined by adapting a recently developed quantum-theoretical derivation of the he
lium scattering probabilities to the case of degenerate semiconductors. Based on the Debye-Waller attenuation of the elastic diffraction peaks of Bi$_2$Te$_3$(111), measured at surface temperatures between $110~mbox{K}$ and $355~mbox{K}$, we find $lambda$ to be in the range of $0.04-0.11$. This method allows to extract a correctly averaged $lambda$ and to address the discrepancy between previous studies. The relatively modest value of $lambda$ is not surprising even though some individual phonons may provide a larger electron-phonon interaction. Furthermore, the surface Debye temperature of Bi$_2$Te$_3$(111) is determined as ${rm Theta}_D = (81pm6)~mbox{K}$. The electronic surface corrugation was analysed based on close-coupling calculations. By using a corrugated Morse potential a peak-to-peak corrugation of 9% of the lattice constant is obtained.
We have studied the surface modifications as well as the surface roughness of the InP(111) surfaces after 1.5 MeV Sb ion implantations. Scanning Probe Microscope (SPM) has been utilized to investigate the ion implanted InP(111) surfaces. We observe t
he formation of nanoscale defect structures on the InP surface. The density, height and size of the nanostructures have been investigated here as a function of ion fluence. The rms surface roughness, of the ion implanted InP surfaces, demonstrates two varied behaviors as a function of Sb ion fluence. Initially, the roughness increases with increasing fluence. However, after a critical fluence the roughness decreases with increasing fluence. We have further applied the technique of Raman scattering to investigate the implantation induced modifications and disorder in InP. Raman Scattering results demonstrate that at the critical fluence, where the decrease in surface roughness occurs, InP lattice becomes amorphous.
