Abstract

Spectroscopy of light scattering on LO phonons confined in short-periodical superlattices (SL) is known to be sensitive to disorders existing on the interfaces. The authors have developed a 1D lattice dynamics model providing mode shifts and the shape of the lines due to broadening of the interfaces. Results obtained show that alloys of constituent materials exhibits two mode behaviours. Using simple linear interpolation, models predict the monotonous increase of the shift with mode number in contradiction with experimental data. In conclusion, the improved 1D model has been fruitful in showing the features of the SL phonon modes and is applicable for analysing the effects of non-random composition distribution near the interfaces due to specific features of a technique used for SL fabrication.
