Popis: We developed a model for the calculation of the dispersion curves of the interface optic phonons in a superlattice with a unit cell composed of a four‐layer sequence, ABCD. Allowing the B,D layers to represent the mixed Ga1/2Al1/2As broad interfaces imposed between the binary A(GaAs) and C(AlAs) layers with a reduced thickness, we applied the model to study the influence of the thickness of the B,D layers on the dispersion relation of the interface modes in this type of a superlattice. An application of this model is to estimate the influence of significant thermal annealing on the dispersion of the interface modes in GaAs/AlAs superlattices.
