The oleic acid ligand exchange for pyridine ones was found to change noticeably the position and width of the longitudinal optical LO phonon mode as well as its intensity ratio to overtones. The broad shoulder above the LO peak frequency was enhanced and sharpened after pyridine treatment as well as with decreasing NC size. The low-frequency mode around 100 cm-1 which is commonly related with the disorder-activated acoustical phonons appears in smaller NCs but is not enhanced after pyridine treatment. Surprisingly the feature at low-frequency shoulder of the LO peak commonly assigned to the surface optical phonon mode was not sensitive to ligand exchange and concomitant close packing of the NCs. An increased structural disorder on the NC surface strain and modified electron-phonon coupling is discussed as the possible reason of the observed changes in the phonon spectrum of ligand-exchanged CdTe NCs. PACS Introduction Among semiconductor nanocrystals NCs colloidal CdTe NCs attract increasing interest due to their large exciton Bohr radius nm pronounced quantum size effect optical activity both in the visible and near-infrared spectral ranges with a bulk band gap of eV and chemical flexibility at the NC surface. These properties make the CdTe NCs promising for various optoelectronic and biological applications light-emitting diodes living .
