Raman spectra were taken under a microspectroscopic system based on an inverted optical microscope (NTEGRA Spectra, NT-MDT)56 (link). Briefly, Si nanodisks were excited using linearly polarized 532-nm laser beams using an oil immersion objective (1.4 NA, ×60, Olympus). The resulting Raman signal with both Stokes and anti-Stokes lines was collected using the same objective, passed through a notch filter, and focused into the spectrometer with a cooled CCD (iDdus, Andor). Raman spectra were recorded with an acquisition time of 1 s.
