Abstract

A combined Brillouin-Raman study has been performed in Si-Si1-xGex and GaAs-Al As superlattices. The photoelastic constant of Si0.5Ge0.5 with respect to Si for several light wavelengths is measured for the first time by light scattering experiments. The frequencies, linewidths and relative intensities of the superlattice acoustic phonon modes are carefully investigated, especially for scattering wavevectors in the vicinity of Brillouin zone boundaries. The acoustic and optical absorptions are found to have particular effects on the frequencies and relative intensities for scattering wavevectors in these regions.
