TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that significant, but complex, changes in the lattice parameter with size can occur in 2−500 nm crystallites, and that there is a definitive relationship between defect chemistry and lattice parameters in ceria nanocrystals.Citations

UV and Visible Raman Studies of Oxygen Vacancies in Rare-Earth-Doped Ceria
TL;DR: It was found that the optical absorption property of samples, the wavelength of detecting laser line, and the inhomogeneous distribution of the dopants significantly affected the obtained surface information, namely, the peak intensity and shape at ca.

Size‐Dependent Lattice Expansion in Nanoparticles: Reality or Anomaly?
TL;DR: It is shown that the negative surface stress is the key reason for lattice expansion, while the excess of lattice sums or point defects of various charge states can be excluded as general explanations.

Ceria and Its Defect Structure: New Insights from a Combined Spectroscopic Approach
TL;DR: In this paper, a correlation between UV-vis band gap values and the presence of Raman bulk defects was established based on the observed decrease of the band gap energy with increasing number of defects, and detailed analysis revealed that the frequently mentioned linear equation for the determination of the crystal size from the halfwidth of the F2g Raman feature is erroneo...
