Phonon dispersion and Raman scattering in hexagonal GaN and AlN
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the results of roomand low-temperature measurements of second-order Raman scattering for perfect GaN and AlN crystals as well as the Raman-scattering data for strongly disordered samples. A complete group-theory analysis of phonon symmetry throughout the Brillouin zone and symmetry behavior of phonon branches, including the analysis of critical points, has been performed. The combined treatment of these results and the lattice dynamical calculations based on the phenomenological interatomic potential model allowed us to obtain the reliable data on the phonon dispersion curves and phonon density-of-states functions in bulk GaN and AlN. @S0163-1829~98!06840-4#

Planar Force-Constant Method for Lattice Dynamics of Cubic III-Nitrides
Using the density-functional theory within the Full Potential Linear Augmented PlaneWave (FP-LAPW) method, we have calculated, in this work, the equation of state, the e ective charges and the phonon dispersion along [100] and [111] directions for the cubic III-Nitrides(c-BN, c-AlN, c-GaN and c-InN), including hydrostatic strains dependence. A good agreement with the micro-Raman scattering expe...
متن کاملInfrared reflection of GaN and AlGaN thin film heterostructures with AlN buffer layers
Infrared reflection spectroscopy is applied to state-of-the-art thin film heterostructures of group-III nitrides on sapphire and Si substrates. The individual layers of GaN and AlGaN and the AlN buffer layer are identified by their phonon frequencies. Under non-perpendicular incidence of the light, A1~LO! phonon modes are observed in the wurtzite system. The presence of the very thin AlN buffer...
متن کاملA planar force-constant model for phonons in wurtzite GaN and AlN: Application to hexagonal GaN/AlN supperlattices
A planar force-constant model is developed for longitudinal phonons of wurtzite GaN and AlN propagating along the [0001] direction. The proposed model is then applied to the study of the phonon modes in hexagonal (0001)GaN/AlN supperlattices in longitudinal polarization. The confinement of the superlattice phonon modes is discussed. PACS numbers: 68.20.Dj, 68.35.Ja Typeset using REVTEX
متن کاملInvestigation of Hot Electrons and Hot Phonons Generated within an AlN/GaN High Electron Mobility Transistor
We review our recent results obtained on an AlN/GaN-based high-electron-mobility transistor. The temperature of the electrons drifting under a relatively-high electric field is significantly higher than the lattice temperature (i.e., the hot electrons are generated). These hot electrons are produced through the Fröhlich interaction between the drifting electrons and long-lived longitudinal-opti...

In this work we use density functional theory based on the ultra-soft pseudo-potential to calculate thestructural, mechanical and thermal properties of narrow single walled BN, AlN and GaN nanotubes.The electron-electron interactions were expressed within the local density approximation (LDA). Wehave also obtained the Phonon dispersion and elastic constants of these nanotubes using the densityf...
