We investigate Frohlich-like electron--optical-phonon interactionsin uniaxial crytals based on the macroscopic dielectric continuum model. In general, the optical-phonon branches support mixed longitudinal and transverse modes due to the anisotropy. For heterostructures with double interfaces and superlattices, it is known that confined, interface, and half-space optical phonon modes exist in zincblende cystals. In uniaxial structures, additional propagating modes may exist in wurtzite heterosystems due to anisotropic phonon dispersion. This is especially the case when the dielectric properties of the adjacent heterostructure materials do not differ substantially. The dispersion relations and the interaction Hamiltonians for each of these modes are derived.

Ferroelectric 물질은 고유전성, 자발분극과 전기장에 따른 유전상수의 변화 등의 특성을 가지고 있으므로 많은 연구가 진행중이다. 이러한 ferroelectric 물질의 유전 특성에 미치는 요소로는 물질의 조성비, 박막의 스트레스, 결정성 등이 있다. 특히 스트레스에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행중이다. 본 연구에서 산화물 인공격자를 이용하여 단일박막에서 얻을 수 없는 격자변형도를 얻어 격자 변형이 박막의 유전특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. BaTiO$_3$ (BTO)/SrTiO$_3$ (STO) 산화물 인공격자를 Pulsed laser deposition (PLD)법으로 (La,Sr)CoO$_3$ 전극이 코팅된 MGO (100) 단결정 기판위에 증착시켰다. 적층 주기에 변화를 주어 BTO와 STO 각각 1.01~1.095와 0.925 ~ 1.003의 단일 막에서는 얻을 수 없는 격자 변형도를 얻었다. 이 실험적 데이터를 기초로 하여 density functional theory (DFT)라고 불리는 범함수밀도론를 기초한 제일원리적 계산 방법을 통하여 격자 변형된 SrTiO$_3$의 구조적, 전기적 특성을 계산하였다. SrTiO$_3$와 BaTiO$_3$ 격자의 안정성을 분석하기 위하여 Vienna Ab-intio Simulation Package (VASP) code가 사용되었다. SrTiO$_3$와 BaTiO$_3$ 산화물 격자의 안정성 분석 후, frozen-phonon 계산 방법을 사용하여 zone-centered optical phonon mode가 계산되었으며, mode effective charge는 Berry-phase polarization 으로부터 얻어졌다. SrTiO$_3$ 격자가 격자변형이 일어나지 않은 상태로부터 c/a= 0.985로 격자 변형 이 일어남에 따라 optical phonon mode는 점차 hardening되었다. BaTiO$_3$ 격자의 경우 SrTiO$_3$ 격자와는 달리 격자 변형이 1.01~1.023으로 진행됨에 따라 optical phonon mode의 증가를 가져왔으나 Born effective charge의 증가하였으며, 더 이상 격자 변형이 진행됨에 따라 optical phonon mode의 감소를 가져왔으나 Born effective charge의 증가 유전상수는 증가했다. 격자 변형이 SrTiO$_3$ 와 BaTiO$_3$ 산화물 격자의 optical phonon mode와 Born effective charge에 크게 영향을 미쳤다.

The effects of (1) phonon dispersion on thermal conductivity model and (2) differentiation of group velocity and phase velocity are examined for germanium. The results show drastic change of thermal conductivity regardless of the same relaxation time model. Also the contribution of transverse acoustic (TA) phonon and longitudinal acoustic (LA) phonon on the thermal conductivity at high temperatures is reassessed by considering more rigorous dispersion model. Holland model, which is commonly used for modeling thermal conductivity, underestimates the scattering rate for TA phonon at high frequency. This leads the conclusion that TA is dominant heat transfer mode at high temperatures. But according to the rigorous consideration of phonon dispersion, the reduction of thermal conductivity is much larger than the estimation of Holland model, thus the TA at high frequency is expected to be no more dominant heat transfer mode. Another heat transfer mechanism may exist at high temperatures. Two possible explanations we the roles of (1) Umklapp scattering of LA phonon at high frequency and (2) optical phonon.

The symmetry of the conduction-band minimum of $GaAs_{1-x}N_{x}$ is probed by performing resonant Raman scattering (RRS) on thin layers of $GaAs_{1-x}N_{x}(x{\leq}0.7)$ epitaxially grown on Ge substrates. Strong resonance enhancement of the LO(longitudinal optical)-phonon Raman intensity is observed with excitation energies near the $E_0$ as well as $E_+$ transitions, However, in contrast to the distinct LO-phonon line-width resonance enhancement and activation of various X and L zone-boundary phonons brought about slightly below and near the $E_+$ transition, respectively, we have not observed any resonant LO-phonon line-width broadening or activation of sharp zone-boundary phonons near the $E_0$ transition. The observed RRS results reveal that the conduction-band minimum of GaAsN predominantly consists of the delocalized GaAs bulk-like states of ${\Gamma}$ symmetry.

The non-polar optical phonon scattering in the valence band depends on the masses, ratios, and types of mixtures of constituent atoms. Therefore, the random distribution of atoms in alloy semiconductors should be considered in the analysis of scattering mechanisms. For this purpose, the force equations of n atoms in a unit cell are expressed in a n x n matrix form to obtain the angular frequencies due to the acoustic and non-polar optical phonons. And, n is then assumed to be infinity. When this work is compared with other results published elsewhere, it is concluded that the independence of atomic displacement or amplitude of oscillation as ell as the infinite number of atoms in a unit cell must be taken into account for the random distribution of atoms in alloy semiconductors.

A linear spring model, where the interactions among atoms are assumed to be isotropic and elastic, is employed for the study of non-polar optical phonon scattering in the valence band of alloy semiconductors. The force equations of n atoms are used in the spring model for the consideration of the random distribution of constituent atoms in an alloy semiconductor. When the number of atoms in a unit cell is assumed to be two based on the experimental result, the optical deformation potent is valid for compound semiconductors as well as alloy semiconductors.

Recently, there has been much interests in InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well (MQW) structures due to their applicability as optoelectronic devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes [1]. Their ultrafast and physical properties are also of significant interests. Anomalously large acoustic phonon oscillations have been observed using ultrafast lasers in InGaN MQWs [2]. In this study, we have peformed femtosecond pump-probe experiments in the reflection geometry on 5 periods InGaN/GaN MQW LED structure with well width of 20$\AA$ and barrier width of 100$\AA$ at room temperature.

This work provides the fundamental knowledge of energy transport characteristics during very short-pulse laser heating of semiconductors from a microscopic viewpoint. Based on the self-consistent hydrodynamic equations, in-situ interactions between carriers, optical phonons, and acoustic phonons are simulated to figure out energy transport mechanism during ultrafast pulse laser heating of a silicon substrate through the detailed information on the time and spatial evolutions of each temperature for carriers, longitudinal optical (LO) phonons, acoustic phonons. It is found that nonequilibrium between LO phonons and acoustic phonons should be considered for ultrafast pulse laser heating problem, two-peak structures become apparently present for the subpicosecond pulses because of the Auger heating. A substantial increase in carrier temperature is observed for lasers with a few picosecond pulse duration, whereas the temperature rise of acoustic and phonon temperatures is relatively small with decreasing laser pulse widths. A slight lagging behavior is observed due to the differences in relaxation times and heat capacities between two different phonons. Moreover, the laser fluence has a significant effect on the decaying rate of the Auger recombination.
