    Electron-phonon coupling and vibrational properties of size-selected linear carbon chains by resonance Raman scattering

    UV resonance Raman spectroscopy of size-selected linear sp-carbon chains unveils vibrational overtones and combinations up to the fifth order. Thanks to the tunability of the synchrotron source, we excited eac...
