Abstract
Raman scattering data have been taken on several GaAs-AIAs superlattices with d<40 Å. Folded LA and TA modes are both seen whose frequencies are well fit by an elastic model involving the bulk sound velocities of GaAs and AlAs. A number of peaks appear near the bulk LO and TO frequencies. Selection rules and a partial examination of resonance behavior are presented.
