摘要
We performed angular-resolved Raman-scattering experiments on AW and GaN both grown in the wurtzite structure. Our measurements reveal that the transverse polar modes in AlN and GaN show a pronounced angular dispersion. We varied the angle between the phonon-propagation direction and the optical axis between 41 degrees and 90 degrees and observed a frequency shift of the A(1)(TO) mode in the range of 28 cm(-1) in AlN and of 15 cm(-1) in GaN. The experimental values agree well with our theoretical calculations which were carried out using the DFT-LDA plane-wave pseudopotential method.
