Abstract
In this paper phonons in ZnTe/CdSe superlattices with in-plane wave ve ctors are calculated by using the combination of a first-principles me thod and an empirical microscopic model. The macroscopic interface mod es and two types of microscopic interface modes are identified, of whi ch the second type of microscopic interface mode is a unique property of superlattices made from two constituent materials not sharing a com mon atom. These interface modes are discussed in detail in this paper. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
