ABSTRACTWe present results of high-pressure Raman-scattering experiments on bulk GaN and GaN grown on GaAs. We determined the Grüneisen parameters of both the cubic TO and LO phonon modes and the hexagonal A1, E1 and E2 modes. Our measurements reveal that the Grüneisen parameters for the GaAs substrate are about 30% smaller than those of bulk GaAs. This is a consequence of the lower compressibility of GaN compared to GaAs, which results in a pressure-induced biaxial strain on the substrate. From the pressure behavior of the GaAs modes and by comparing with our results for bulk GaN we obtained information about the biaxial strain in the GaN epitaxial layer.

The strain fields in a 4H-SiC homo-epitaxial layer deposited on a nitrogen-doped 4H-SiC substrate were studied using Raman scattering microscopy. The cross-sectional (1-100) and (11-20) surfaces of the epitaxial substrate were examined through the peak shifts of several Raman-active phonon modes for 4H-SiC, and tensile strain was found along the direction of 4° off the c-axis at the epilayer/substrate interface. The effect of the facet trace in the substrate, which has a higher nitrogen concentration than the other parts of the substrate, was also studied. The tensile strain at the epilayer/substrate interface was found to be hardly enhanced for the epilayer deposited on the facet trace.

The structural stability of vanadinite, Pb5[VO4]3Cl, is reported by high-pressure experiments using synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. XRD experiments were performed up to 44.6 GPa and 700 K using an externally-heated diamond anvil cell (EHDAC), and Raman spectroscopy measurements were performed up to 26.8 GPa at room temperature. XRD experiments revealed a reversible phase transition of vanadinite at 23 GPa and 600 K, which is accompanied by a discontinuous volume reduction and color change of the mineral from transparent to reddish during compression. The high-pressure Raman spectra of vanadinite show apparent changes between 18.0 and 22.8 GPa and finally become amorphous at 26.8 GPa, suggesting structural transitions of this mineral upon compression. The structural changes can be distinguished by the emergence of a new vibrational mode that can be attributed to the distortion of [VO4] and the larger distortion of the V–O bonds, respectively. The [VO4] internal modes in vanadinite give isothermal mode Grüneisen parameters varying from 0.149 to 0.286, yielding an average VO4 internal mode Grüneisen parameters of 0.202.

AbstractThe photoluminescence and Raman scattering of {|(CdSe)1 (ZnSe)3|14-(ZnSe)130} × 5 multiple quantum well structure have been investigated at 77 K and under hydrostatic pressure up to 7 GPa. Resonant excitations have been accomplished by turning the electronic levels under hydrostatic high pressure. Two kind of excitons and ZnSe-like LO phonon modes as well as their pressure behavior are presented.

High-pressure in situ angular dispersive x-ray diffraction study on the wurtzite-type InN nanowires has been carried out by means of the image-plate technique and diamond-anvil cell (DAC) up to about 31.8 GPa. The pressure-induced structural transition from the wurtzite to a rocksalt-type phase occurs at about 14.6 GPa, which is slightly higher than the transition pressure of InN bulk materials (∼12.1 GPa). The relative volume reduction at the transition point is close to 17.88%, and the bulk modulus B0 is determined through fitting the relative volume-pressure experimental data related to the wurtzite and rocksalt phases to the Birch–Murnaghan equation of states. Moreover, high-pressure Raman scattering for InN nanowires were also investigated in DAC at room temperature. The corresponding structural transition was confirmed by assignment of phonon modes. We calculated the mode Grüneisen parameters for the wurtzite and rocksalt phases of InN nanowires.

Microstructure of epitaxial layers of doped GaAs and its crystal growth dynamics on single crystal GaAs substrate were studied by Raman microspectroscopy with a Dilor OMARS instrument equipped with a 1024 photodiode multichannel detector and a ion-argon laser Spectra-Physics emitting at 514.5 nm.The spatial resolution of this technique, less than 1 μm2, allows the recording of Raman spectra at several spots in function of thickness, from the substrate to the outer deposit, including areas around the interface (Fig.l).The high anisotropy of the LO and TO Raman bands is indicative of the orientation of the epitaxial layer as well as of the structural modification in the deposit and in the substrate at the interface.With Sn doped, the epitaxial layer also presents plasmon in Raman scattering. This fact is already very well known, but we additionally observed that its frequency increases with the thickness of the deposit. For a sample with electron density 1020 cm-3, the plasmon L+ appears at 930 and 790 cm-1 near the outer surface.

AbstractThe temperature effect on the Raman scattering efficiency is investigated in $$\varepsilon$$ ε -GaSe and $$\gamma$$ γ -InSe crystals. We found that varying the temperature over a broad range from 5 to 350 K permits to achieve both the resonant conditions and the antiresonance behaviour in Raman scattering of the studied materials. The resonant conditions of Raman scattering are observed at about 270 K under the 1.96 eV excitation for GaSe due to the energy proximity of the optical band gap. In the case of InSe, the resonant Raman spectra are apparent at about 50 and 270 K under correspondingly the 2.41 eV and 2.54 eV excitations as a result of the energy proximity of the so-called B transition. Interestingly, the observed resonances for both materials are followed by an antiresonance behaviour noticeable at higher temperatures than the detected resonances. The significant variations of phonon-modes intensities can be explained in terms of electron-phonon coupling and quantum interference of contributions from different points of the Brillouin zone.
