Abstract

The phonon spectra of InxGa1-xAs/GaAs strained-layer superlattices grown on (100), or either one of the two inequivalent (211)A and B surfaces of GaAs were obtained by Raman scattering for pressures ranging from 1 atm to 13.0 GPa. The measurements show that phonon frequencies are discontinuous functions of pressure for (211)A superlattices in contrast to the continuous behavior observed for (100) and (211)B-oriented superlattices. These discontinuities are discussed in terms of pressure induced increase in the density of heterointerface dislocations.
