We present calculations of the acoustic phonon spectra for a variety of quantum dots and consider the cases where the quantum dots are both free-standing and embedded in a selection of different matrix materials — including semiconductors, plastic, and water. These results go beyond previous calculations for free-standing quantum dots and demonstrate that the matrix material can have a large effect on the acoustic phonon spectrum and consequently on a variety of phonon-assisted transitions in quantum-dot heterostructures.

ABSTRACTRaman scattering has been used to examine strained-layer GaSb/AlSb superlattices for a variety of growth imperfections. Analysis of zone-folded acoustic phonon spectra permit a determination of the superlattice period, the individual layer widths, some estimate of the interfacial widths, and evidence for variations in layer thicknesses.
