Raman scattering in Ga0.47In0.53As/InP superlattices grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy

Abstract
Raman scattering in two Ga0.47In0.53As/InP superlattices is reported. Scattering by folded longitudinal acoustic phonons has been observed and interpreted using the elastic continuum theory. The data yield superlattice periods of 18.0 and 12.1 nm. The optical phonon energies are observed to be different from bulk values.
