Crystallographic strain

Well-defined CdS/CdSe superlattices have been formed by means of ECALE [74]. In these structures the CdS component - and not CdSe - suffered from substantial crystallographic strain as was evidenced by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) - a valuable tool for characterizing the superlattice phonons in electrochemical or other ambient environments. Torimoto et al. reported quantum confinement in superlattices of ZnS/CdS grown by ECALE [75]. 

In subsequent metal oxide synthesis experiments, the relationship between cavitation numbers and Reynolds numbers to synthesis results, such as crystallographic strain, primary grain size, agglomerate size, or phase purity, was examined to develop an understanding of the effects of different bubble dynamics on crystal properties.
