Abstract

We report the occurrence of confined longitudinal and transverse optical phonons in (CdTe)n(ZnTe)n (2≤ n ≤ 5) ultra-short-period superlattices as observed in their Raman and far-infrared reflectivity spectra. The dispersion curves of the optical phonons in CdTe and in ZnTe along [001], determined from the frequencies of the confined phonons, are in excellent agreement with neutron scattering data on the bulk compounds. For the n = 5 superlattice sample, folded acoustic phonons have been observed.
