Abstract

We have studied the effect of interface cationic intermixing on the Raman scattering by optical phonons in {113}-oriented superlattices. The theoretical Raman spectra have been calculated using the Bond Charge Model (for lattice dynamics) and the Bond Polarizability Model (for the Raman intensities). We have compared the theoretical results with our experimental data in the spectral range of GaAs-like optical modes. Finally, we have studied the differences between the effect of interface disorder and the effect of the periodic interface corrugation proposed in the literature.
