Abstract
Calculations based on a planar force-constant model for strained-layer superlattices (SLSs) are presented. The calculations are compared with the experimental results of Raman scattering by optical phonons in GaP/InP and AlAs/InAs SLSs. The local character of some of the optical phonons of these superlattices has been used to study the electronic structure of (001)-oriented GaP/InP and AlAs/InAs SLSs and to characterize structurally (311)-oriented AlAs/InAs SLSs.
