Abstract

Electronic and phonon Raman scattering is used to study novel layered semiconductor structures. Electronic excitations are discussed in GaAs quantum-well structures. Allowed phonon scattering leads to information on built-in strains in SiGe overlayers and Si−SiGe superlattices. Periodic multilayer structures show characteristic zone folding effects of the acoustic phonon branches. The formation of semiconductor heterostructures is studied with electric field induced LO-phonon scattering.
