Abstract
The lattice dynamics of superlattices is now very well understood and most of the theoretical predictions have been quantitatively verified by Raman scattering, at least on GaAs/AlAs structures. This system is particularly interesting for several reasons:
-
samples are currently available at a very high and controlled quality,
-
phonon dispersion curves in the bulk constituents GaAs and AlAs are known,
-
almost perfect lattice matching is achieved,
-
GaAlAs alloy lattice dynamics is well described by reasonably simple models.
