The metastable cubic phase of US has been found to be stabilized in the form of nanoparticles. Zinc-blende to Wurtzite structural transformation of US nanoparticles, synthesized using chemical precipitation, was investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, photolunainescence (PL) and infrared (IR) absorption spectroscopy. The nanocrystalline powder was annealed in argon atmosphere in the temperature range 473-773 K for 2 h at each temperature. The hexagonal fraction increased monotonically during annealing and the shape of the particle becomes anisotropic. PL spectra exhibited a marginal decrease in peak position for annealing up to 573 K and then an increase. In Raman spectra, the intensity of 1-LO phonon decreases while that of 2-LO phonon increases indicating an increase in electron-phonon interaction with increase in particle size. In addition to the Frohlich surface optical phonon mode and TO phonon mode, a new mode at 195 cm(-1) is found in IR spectra, which is attributed to a defect-activated zone-boundary phonon. The changes in the optical properties are attributed to those arising from particle growth and structural transformation. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
