The first investigation of the lattice dynamics of the ternary alloy InAs1−xSbx has been made using Raman scattering. The InAs1−xSbx epilayers were grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy on (100) InAs and InSb substrates over the entire composition range. The spectra in the optical phonon frequency range show only one set of longitudinal- and transverse-optical (LO,TO) modes, which vary continuously with composition for x≤0.6, and two sets of LO modes for x>0.6. Both disorder-activated acoustic and optical phonon modes also appear.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
