Raman Scattering Studies of Optical Phonons in GaAs/AlAs and GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs Superlattices
It is weL.L. known from the phonon dispersion curves of bulk GaAs and AlAs that though their acoustic branches basically overlap, the optical branches do not. As a consequence, in GaAs/AlAs superlattices the a...
