35. T is not strictly valid and it becomes worse for smaller nanoparticles. In particles of the size studied here the neglected variation is a small higher order effect.

51. T are responsible for the quadratic curvature of the LO and TO phonon branches, these higher order parameters can be considered independent of S. In the calculations shown in Figs. we assume that the strain effect of the host matrix on the structure is also negligible.

65. The use of pyridine or 4:1 methanol:ethanol media is not found to strongly affect the observed spectral features or their pressure dependence, as expected in media with no optical transitions near the phonon frequencies of interest.
