Abstract
Structures with CdS quantum dots produced by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) tec hnique were investigated by Raman, IR, and UV spectroscopies. The confineme nt effect of longitudinal optical (LO) phonons in CdS quantum dots was inve stigated by Raman spectroscopy. Surface vibrational modes of CdS quantum do ts were observed in IR spectra. It was shown experimentally that the freque ncy of the surface vibrational modes depends on the properties of the surro unding media. An average size of CdS quantum dots of about 3-6.4 nm was obt ained from the analysis of UV measurements.
