Raman scattering of indium-richAlxIn1xN: Unexpected two-mode behavior of

Abstract: Al x In 1−x N films ͑0.03Յ x Յ 0.80͒, particularly indium-rich AlInN films, are studied by Raman scattering. We clearly observe a two-mode behavior of A 1 ͑LO͒ phonon and prove that the previous theoretical prediction and experimental attribution of InN-like A 1 ͑LO͒ to E 2 H mode are incorrect. Using the modified random-element isodisplacement model of Chang and Mitra, the information about AlInN lattice vibration is extracted. We believe that these results imply a strong positive force interaction between In… Show more

“…Raman spectra are measured on the AlInN surface in a backscattering configuration at room temperature with 514 nm laser excitation. Before this paper, we have given a strong experimental support to the two-mode behavior for A 1 ͑LO͒ phonon in AlInN, 13 which is in contrast with previously widely adopted one-mode A 1 ͑LO͒ phonon behavior. 14 Fig.…”

“…[3][4][5] In order to fulfill AlInN applications in commercially optical and electronic devices, the fundamental properties of this material have been studied experimentally [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] and theoretically. [12][13][14] Starosta 11 has reported the first synthesis of AlInN polycrystalline films by a reactive multitarget sputtering method. Subsequently, there have been numerous reports about the growth of single phase AlInN by a variety of methods, 1,3,5,7 with the emphasis on improving the quality, due to the large differences in chemical and physical parameters between InN and AlN.…”
