Cubic-Zn(1-x)Mn(x)Te optical modes across the phonon and phonon-polariton regimes

M. Mina, A. Elmahjoubi, T. Ngulezhu +18

Alloying offers a convenient route to tune the physical properties of semiconductors, at the price, however, of local lattice/bond distortions needed to accommodate the lattice mis…

Phonon-polaritons in Zn(1-x)MgxTe (x<0.09): A Raman scattering study

D. Singh, A. Elmahjoubi, O. Pages +10

Phonon-polaritons (PP) are phonon-photon coupled modes. Using near-forward Raman scattering, the PP of the cubic Zn(1-x)MgxTe (x<0.09) semiconductor alloy could be measured. While…
