Coherent control of acoustic phonons in semiconductor superlattices
Coherent acoustic phonons are generated in GaAs/AlAs superlattices by excitation with femtosecond laser pulses. Several modes of the acoustic phonon spectrum are observed, in agreement with the effect of zone folding in the mini-Brillouin zone of the superlattice. By applying successive pump pulses we are able to silence the first back-folded mode near q50, while selectively enhancing the coher...
متن کاملThermoelectric properties of HfN/ScN metal/semiconductor superlattices: a first-principles study.
Nitride-based metal/semiconductor superlattices are promising candidates for high-temperature thermoelectric applications. Motivated by recent experimental studies, we perform first-principles density functional theory based analysis of electronic structure, vibrational spectra and transport properties of HfN/ScN metal/semiconductor superlattices for their potential applications in thermoelectr...
متن کاملHeat-Transport Mechanisms in Superlattices
Superlattices are important structures for thermoelectric applications because of their potential for achieving high efficiency for thermoelectric energy conversion. Despite numerous theoretical and experimental studies, basic understanding of the thermal conductivity L of superlattices is incomplete. In semiconductors, heat is carried by wave-like lattice vibrations, i.e., phonons, with a broa...
متن کاملCoherent Zone-Folded Longitudinal Acoustic Phonons in Semiconductor Superlattices: Excitation and Detection
Coherent zone-folded acoustic phonons are excited in GaAsyAlAs superlattices by femtosecond laser pulses via resonant impulsive stimulated Raman scattering in both forward and backward scattering directions. The relative amplitudes of three distinct modes of first and second backfolded order match well with scattering intensities calculated within an elastic continuum model. The detection of th...
متن کاملProgress towards terahertz acoustic phonon generation in doping superlattices
Progress is described in experiments to generate coherent terahertz acoustic phonons in silicon doping superlattices by the resonant absorption of nanosecond-pulsed far-infrared laser radiation. Future experiments are proposed that would use the superlattice as a transducer in a terahertz cryogenic acoustic reflection microscope with sub-nanometer resolution.
