Abstract

Phonon generation in n-GaAs epilayers and pn junctions is studied by means of a superconducting bolometer and time of flight techniques. Phonon emission is found to depend markedly on propagation direction, carrier concentration and defect density. Results obtained with n-layers are compared to theoretical estimates of the generation rate due to screened piezoelectric and deformation potential interactions. The data provide a vivid demonstration of theoretical selection rules.
