Ac. Maciel et al., RESONANT RAMAN-SCATTERING FROM PHONONS IN GAAS (GAAS)(M)(ALAS)(N) QUANTUM-WIRE STRUCTURES/, Applied physics letters, 68(11), 1996, pp. 1519-1521
Raman spectroscopy has been used to measure phonons in GaAs v-groove q
uantum wire structures containing (001) and (111) GaAs/AlAs superlatti
ce barrier regions. Resonance enhancement permits the identification o
f modes in different regions of the structure, and the measured phonon
frequencies provide structural information which shows clear evidence
of GaAs migration during growth from (001) surfaces into the grooves.
Confined and interface phonons with large in-(111) plane wavevectors
are observed. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
