| description | Low energy optical modes of MBE-grown thin films with different values of are investigated using Raman spectroscopy. We also studied the influence of Raman excitation frequency using red and green lasers on scattering intensity of various Raman modes. For those alloys whose bandgap energy is close to the red laser, a huge enhancement in the intensities of A1(LO) mode and its 2A1(LO) replica is observed when excited with red laser as compared to the green laser excitation. We found that the energies of longitudinal optical modes (A1(LO) and 2A1(LO)) vary nonlinearly unlike the E2 mode with increasing Ga atomic fraction. A Raman mode ~540 cm−1 was observed in all films with low energy red laser excitation but was absent with green laser excitation. We attribute this mode to A1(TO) mode of the underneath GaN buffer layer. |
