Observation of coherent zone-folded acoustic phonons generated by Raman scattering in a superlattice
We have used pulse time-of-flight techniques to examine the phonon emission from an optically excited GaAs/AlAs superlattice structure. For laser excitation wavelengths shorter than 767 nm ~the energy of E1HH1 transition!, we detect a significant longitudinal acoustic phonon component directed in a narrow beam normal to the structure. Under identical excitation conditions, generation of coheren...
متن کاملDisruption of superlattice phonons by interfacial mixing
Molecular dynamics simulations and lattice dynamics calculations are used to study the vibrational modes and thermal transport in Lennard-Jones superlattices with perfect and mixed interfaces. The secondary periodicity of the superlattices leads to a vibrational spectrum (i.e., dispersion relation) that is distinct from the bulk spectra of the constituent materials. The mode eigenvectors of the...
متن کاملGaussian superlattice for phonons
A recently developed long-wavelength continuum phenomenological model is employed to study the phonon tunneling through semiconductor heterostructures where the barrier parameters are varied gradually according to a Gaussian function. The optical modes of a Si/SixGe1Kx Gaussian superlattice are considered. Such structures allow the incident phonons to be nearly totally transmitted when the inci...
متن کاملCoherent Hall effect in a semiconductor superlattice.
The coherent Hall effect denotes the transient Hall response of impulsively excited coherent charge-carrier wave packets in a solid. We report the first experimental study of this phenomenon (i) using a semiconductor superlattice in crossed electric and magnetic fields as a model for three-dimensional materials and (ii) employing a contactless optoelectronic technique to probe the transient cur...
متن کاملWave packets in a semiconductor superlattice
A theoretical study of hole wave packets in a GaAs, Als,,Ga,,,As superlattice is presented. Formation of the wave packet by short laser pulse excitation and the time-dependent nature of the wave packet are discussed, with particular attention given to the quasi-periodic nature of the time dependence. Phenomena analogous to those displayed in atomic and molecular wave packet systems are predicte...
