Abstract
The results of a resonant Raman scattering (RRS) study of polymer-stabilized colloidal CdSe nanoparticles (NPs) are reported. The size-selective nature of the RRS is demonstrated by analysing the NP ensembles with different average size [Formula: see text] and size distribution Δd using a set of excitation wavelengths. The effect of size selection on the estimation of [Formula: see text] and Δd values from the RRS spectra is discussed, as well as some peculiarities of RRS on surface optical phonons. From the experimentally observed small variation of the I(2LO)/I(LO) ratio for 2-5 nm NPs a minor effect of [Formula: see text] on the electron-phonon coupling strength in this [Formula: see text] range is supposed.
