(color online) (a) and (c) Calculated N-dependent Raman spectra. The line-width used is 0.20 cm−1. Green dashed frame in panel (a) and dashed arrow in panel (c) highlight the typical out-of-plane Ag mode and in-plane Bg mode, respectively. Raman shift and intensity of (b) Ag and (d) Bg modes as a function of inverse layer number 1/N of InI crystal. A black dashed curve in panel (b) is a fit to ω(1/N) data. To note that logarithmic scale is used for intensity in panels (b) an (d).
