Abstract
Room temperature measurements of the far-infrared (FIR) reflectance spectra are reported for the polar optical phonons in a series of bulk Cd[subscript x]Zn[subscript 1−x]Te (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) and CdSe[subscript x]Te[subscript 1−x] (0 < x ≤ 0.35) crystals grown by Bridgman technique. The composition-dependent spectra exhibited many fundamental aspects of lattice vibrations, while the results of long-wavelength optical modes for the end member binary compounds displayed phonon values in good agreement with the existing inelastic neutron scattering and/or Raman spectroscopy data. Using a standard methodology of multilayer optics with effective-medium dielectric tensors, we simulated the FIR transmission and reflectivity spectra at oblique incidence (Berreman's effect) in many II-VI free-standing thin films, epilayers and superlattices. Berreman's approach provided us with a strong basis for analyzing the infrared experimental data and offered an effective means of estimating the zone-center transverse and longitudinal optical (ω[subscript TO], ω[subscript LO]) phonon frequencies in polar-semiconductor thin films and heterostructure materials of increasing technological importance.
