Abstract
For nanoscale systems such as nanoparticles and 3D-bonded networks, the range of spatial coherence is well reflected in the Raman spectral pattern. For confined, or localized, phonons, the range of q-points contributing to the spectrum depends on the phonon confinement length, which makes it possible to derive size information from the spectra. In this work, the Raman spectrum of vitreous silica is described as localized phonons of an SiO2 network. The convergence of the spectral pattern with the confinement size is studied. It is shown that the phonon propagation scale in vitreous silica is within the 0.5–2 nm range.
