Sw. Dasilva et al., OPTICAL PHONON-SPECTRA OF GASB ALSB SUPERLATTICES - INFLUENCE OF STRAIN AND INTERLACE ROUGHNESSES/, Journal of applied physics, 80(1), 1996, pp. 597-599
Raman spectroscopy indicates the formation of extended intermixture al
loy regions at the interfaces in the GaSb/AlSb superlatttices, which s
uppress the optical confined modes. A misfit strain was found to be re
sponsible for the high-frequency shift of the optical phonons confined
in the AlSb layers. It turned out that; in the ultrathin layer CaSb/A
lSb superlattices with layer thicknesses less than 7 monolayers, the s
train was completely relaxed in the alloy interface regions. (C) 1996
