Abstract

Among thin films, superlattices are of particular scientific and technological importance. Their periodicity presents an additional control parameter, which allows modifications of their electronic and phononic behavior. Here, we present an accurate thin-film characterization tool in form of backfolded acoustic phonon modes, which are, to the best of our knowledge, observed for the first time in metal-oxide superlattices by means of Raman spectroscopy.

This chapter is an extended version of the paper: F. Lyzwa, A. Chan, J. Khmaladze, K. Fürsich, B. Keimer, C. Bernhard, M. Minola and B. P. P. Mallett “Backfolded acoustic phonons as ultrasonic probes in metal-oxide superlattices” Phys. Rev. Materials 4, 043606 (2020), [1] with Copyright permission (2020) by the American Physical Society.
