Popis: Defect-activated interface modes with a large range of possible wave vectors in the superlattice planes, as well as interface modes with a well-defined in-plane wave vector, induced by a titled 80A-period GaAs/AlAs superlattice on the surface of a (GaAs) 7 (AlAs) 21 superlattice, have been observed using Raman spectroscopy. The experimentally measured frequencies are found to be in good agreement with calculations based on the macroscopic electrostatic continuum model. The efficiency of the Raman scattering by these interface phonons depends on the incident laser intensity, with high photoexcitation quenching them.
