Abstract: Raman scattering is a powerful technology for solid materials research. The author, since 1983, has been devoted in employing Raman technology to study a wide range of semiconductors, quantum wells (QWs) & superlattices (SLs), oxdies and nano-structural materials, including IV-IV; II-VI; III-V; III-Nitides; ZnO & MgZnO, AlZnO; Oxides; Nano-structures and so on. Different Raman systems under different measurement conditions of varied excitation lasers, temperature and pressure, have been used. Especially, Raman measurements have been combined with other materials analytical and advanced techniques to realize the interdisciplinary studies on studied materials and to help the R&D of new advanced materials/structures.This presentation reports on our wide Raman scattering and correlated research, including the combination with other advanced analytic methods, and results in these fields. The following topics are given: Raman and TEM on SiC polytype conversion; Correction on Raman mode assignments from GaN/sapphire, Raman on anisotropic property of wurtzite GaN; Resonant Raman scattering from III-Nitrides and ZnO, MgZnO wide gap semiconductors; Temperature varied (80K-870K) Raman studies on 4H-SiC, anomalous T-behavior; Combined Raman and RBS on InN; Raman and Synchrotron XAS studies on 3C-SiC/Si; Raman and XAS of GaN grown on different substrates and by different techniques; Raman scattering and X-ray absorption properties of carbon nanotube arrays; Cross-section Raman measurements on thin 3C-SiC and GaN layers; Surface optical modes from ZnO and GaN nano-rods; Raman scattering on AlN nanowires, wire thickness dependence; Brillouin scattering of GaN and AlGaN; Infrared reflectance and transmission spectra in II-VI alloys and superlattices.We could talk more on some topics. It’s hopeful to penetrate into the fundamental concepts and properties, to explore & solve some tough/unsolved problems, to promote the research in related fields, and to establish/develop the cross-strait collaboration & exchanging, for students and professors.
