Using Raman spectrometry, we obtained results showing the influence of organic ligands on the vibrational properties of small zinc oxide nanocrystals (2.1-6.8 nm). It is shown that it is possible to distinguish both mechanical and dielectric effects from the E-2 nonpolar phonon mode and from a surface mode, theoretically predicted but rarely observed. It has been found that E-2 phonon is not dependent on the nanocrystal size, but its frequency decreases with increasing ligand length, characteristic of a tensile stress on the nanocrystal. We report also the observation of a surface optical mode, the experimental frequency of which is in reasonable agreement with available calculations. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
