Abstract
The Raman light scattering from optical phonons of Ge quantum dots grown by molecular beam epitaxy on a Si(111) surface is studied. A series of Raman lines related to the quantization of phonon spectrum is observed. It is shown that phonon frequencies are adequately described in terms of the elastic properties and the dispersion of the optical phonons of bulk Ge. The strain experienced by the Ge quantum dots is estimated.
