摘要
We present Raman-scattering measurements on InxGa1-xN over the entire composition range of the alloy. The frequencies of the A(1)(LO) and E-2 modes are reported and show a good agreement with the one-mode behavior dispersion predicted by the modified random-element isodisplacement model. The A(1)(LO) mode displays a high intensity relative to the E-2 mode due to resonant enhancement. For above band-gap excitation, the A(I)(LO) peak displays frequency shifts as a function of the excitation energy due to selective excitation of regions with different In contents, and strong multiphonon scattering up to 3LO is observed in outgoing resonance conditions.
