    Notes: Abstract. We have investigated SiC films, obtained by the low-energy cluster beam deposition (LECBD) technique, and using AFM Raman and XPS spectroscopies. We produce these films at room temperature and in an ultrahigh vacuum environment to protect them from the pollution. The inner morphology of the clusters is close to an amorphous-like structure. However, most of the theoretical models predict an sp 3 hybridization, in disagreement with our experimental results. We find that the films are composed mainly by free components formed by rich silicon, rich carbon, and rich SiC regions, respectively. In our case, the mean hybridization of the rich carbon region is mainly sp n -like with 2〈n〈3.

    Notes: Abstract. Absorption and low-frequency Raman scattering experiments have been performed on thin films consisting of small silver clusters embedded in a porous alumina matrix. When the Raman excitation wavelength is close to the maximum (≈420 nm) of the Mie band (dipolar surface plasmon resonance) the Raman spectra exhibit a strong band located around 10 cm-1, the maximum of which depends on the mean cluster diameter 〈D〉 in the sample according to the approximate law ωvib∝〈D〉-1. The Raman band corresponds to the excitation of the quadrupolar vibration mode of the clusters. Moreover, the maximum of the Raman band shifts towards lower frequencies when the excitation light is shifted to the red. This feature, as well as the rather large Mie-band width, is thought to reflect the ellipsoidal shape distribution of part of the embedded clusters.

    Notes: Abstract: The effects of surface-induced lattice contraction on the size evolution of the surface plasmon resonance and of the electronic thermalization time in small silver clusters have been investigated in the framework of a mixed classical/quantum model. The increase of the conduction-electron density results in a blue-shift trend for decreasing cluster size. However this effect is counterbalanced by the increase of the dielectric function associated to the ionic-core background. Agreement with the blue-shift trend observed in experiment is recovered by introducing an inner surface skin of vanishing ionic-core polarizability having a thickness practically unchanged as compared to previous estimations. The influence of the lattice contraction on the electron dynamics is also discussed. It is shown that this influence is negligible as compared to the surface effects arising from the spillout and the inner skin of reduced ionic-core polarizability which are both responsible for a decrease of the electron thermalization time as the particle size decreases.
