Abstract
The room-temperature Raman scattering studies of longitudinal optic phonons in AlAs/AlxGa1-xAs and GaAs/AlxGai1-xAs short-period superlattices with different layer thicknesses were reported. The AlAs LO modes confined in AlAs layers and GaAs-like LO modes confined in AlxGa1-xAs layers were observed in AlAs/AlxGa1-xAs superlattices under off-resonance conditions. And the GaAs LO modes confined in GaAs layers and AlAs-like LO modes confined in AlxGa1-xAs layers were observed in GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs superlattices. In addition, the AlAs interface mode in AlAs/AlxGa1-xAs was also observed under near-resonance conditions. Based on the linear chain mode, the frequencies of confined LO modes measured by Raman scattering were unfolded according to q=m/n+1(2π/α0) , by which the dispersion curves of AlAs-like and GaAs-like LO phonons in AlxGa1-xAs mixed crystal were obtained.
