Abstract.Composites were prepared by mixing Cu 6 PS 5 X (X = I, Br) nanocrystalline powders obtained by ball milling with different polymers. The average nanocrystal size was estimated from X-ray diffraction; the composites were studied by scanning electron microscopy. Phonon spectra of nanocomposites with different polymer matrices, size and concentration of nanocrystals were studied using Raman spectroscopy. It has been revealed that the surface-to-bulk phonon integrated intensity ratio strongly varies with the type of polymer matrix, average grain size and concentration of nanocrystals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
