Low-frequency Raman scattering spectra are presented for gold nanocrystals with diameters 3.5 and 13 nm. The frequencies of the Raman peaks but also their number are shown to vary with the nanocrystal size. These results are analyzed using both the continuous elastic medium approximation and an atomistic approach. We show that the number of atoms in the nanocrystal determines an upper limit of the number of observable Raman features. The frequency range in which the continuous elastic medium approximation is valid is defined by comparison with the calculations based on the atomistic approach.

Tunneling transport measurements performed on single particles and on arrays of Fe3O4 (magnetite) nanocrystals provide strong evidence for the existence of the Verwey metal-insulator transition at the nanoscale. The resistance measurements on nanocry
stal arrays show an abrupt increase of the resistance around 100 K, consistent with the Verwey transition, while the current-voltage characteristics exhibit a sharp transition from an insulator gap to a peak structure around zero bias voltage. The tunneling spectra obtained on isolated particles using a Scanning Tunneling Microscope reveal an insulator-like gap structure in the density of states below the transition temperature that gradually disappeared with increasing temperature, transforming to a small peak structure at the Fermi energy. These data provide insight into the roles played by long- and short-range charge ordering in the Verwey transition.
Broadening of the Raman scattering (RS) spectra was studied in monolayer graphene samples irradiated with various dose of ions followed by annealing of radiation damage at different temperatures. It is shown that the width {Gamma} (full width at half
maximum, FWHM) of three main RS lines (G-, D-, and 2D) increases linearly with increase of the density of irradiation-induced point defects N d as {Delta}{Gamma} = m N d . The slope m of the linear dependencies is the same for one-phonon emitting G-line and D-line, and almost double for two-phonon emitting 2D-line. It is also shown that the width of D-line {Gamma} D for all samples is larger than one half of the width of 2D-line {Gamma} 2D , which shows that in the case of D-line, elastic electron scattering on point defects leads to an additional decreasing the lifetime of the emitted phonon. Theoretical model of the width of D-line in disordered graphene is developed which explains the experimental observations and allows to determine the numerical coefficient in the in-plane transverse optic phonon dispersion in graphene.
{gamma}-graphdiyne is a 2D carbon structure beyond graphene: it is formed by sp and sp2 carbon atoms organized as hexagonal rings connected by linear links, and it is predicted to be a semiconductor. The lateral confinement of {gamma}-graphdiyne nano
ribbons significantly affects the electronic and vibrational properties. By means of periodic Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations we investigate here the electronic band structure, the Raman and IR spectra of the {gamma}-graphdiyne 2D crystal and related nanoribbons. We discuss the effect of the functional and basis set on the evaluation of the band gap, highlighting the reliability of hybrid functionals. By joining DFT calculations with a symmetry analysis, we assign in detail the IR and Raman spectra of {gamma}-graphdiyne. On this basis we show the modulation of the gap in nanoribbons of increasing width and different edges (armchair, zigzag). We assess how confinement affects the Raman and IR spectra of such nanoribbons by comparing their vibrational modes with the phonons of the parent 2D crystal. Our symmetry-based classification allows identifying the marker bands sensitive to the edge structure and lateral confinement of nanoribbons of increasing width. These results show the effectiveness of vibrational spectroscopy for the characterization of such nanostructures.
By employing the first-principles calculations, we investigate electronic properties of a novel carbon nanostructure called a carbon nanobud, in which a $C_{60}$ molecule covalently attaches or embeds in an armchair carbon nanotube. We find that the
carbon nanobud exhibits either semiconducting or metallic behavior, depending on the size of the nanotube, as well as the combination mode. Moreover, with respect to the case of the corresponding pristine nanotubes, some new electronic states appear at 0.3-0.8 eV above the Fermi level for the carbon nanobuds with the attaching mode, which agrees well with the experimental reports. In addition, the vibrational properties of the carbon nanobuds are explored. The characteristic Raman active modes for both $C_{60}$ and the corresponding pristine nanotube present in Raman spectra of the carbon nanobuds with attaching modes, consistent with the observations of a recent experiment. In contrast, such situation does not appear for the case of the carbon nanobud with the embedding mode. This indicates that the synthesized carbon nanobuds are probably of the attaching configuration rather than the embedding configuration.
Raman spectra of few-layer WS2 have been measured with up to seven excitation energies, and peculiar resonance effects are observed. The two-phonon acoustic phonon scattering signal close to the main E2g1 peak is stronger than the main peaks for exci
tations near the A or B exciton states. The low-frequency Raman spectra show a series of shear and layer-breathing modes that are useful for determining the number of layers. In addition, hitherto unidentified peaks (X1 and X2), which do not seem to depend on the layer thickness, are observed near resonances with exciton states. The polarization dependences of the two peaks are different: X1 vanishes in cross polarization, but X2 does not. At the resonance with the A exciton state, the Raman-forbidden, lowest-frequency shear mode for odd number of layers appears as strong as that for the allowed case of even number of layers. This mode also exhibits a strong Breit-Wigner-Fano line shape and an anomalous polarization behavior at this resonance.
