Vibrational and electronic excitations of two atom diameter mercury telluride nanowires studied by resonance Raman spectroscopy

This thesis presents the results from a temperature dependant resonance Raman spectroscopy study of HgTe extreme nanowires embedded within SWCNTs. Extreme nanowires are nanowires at the absolute limits of the nanoscale, in this case, just 1-2 atoms in diameter. This work demonstrates that due to the...
