Interface phonon-polaritons in quantum well systems of polar ternary mixed crystals

The interface phonon-polaritons in quantum well systems consisting of polar ternary mixed crystals are investi-gated. The numerical results of the interface phonon-polariton frequencies in the GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs, ZnSxSe1-x/ZnS, and ZnxCd1-xSe/ ZnSe quantum well systems are obtained and discussed. It is shown that there are six branches of interface phonon-polariton modes distributed in three bulk phonon-polariton forbidden bands in the systems. The electric fields of interface phonon-polaritons are also presented and show the interface locality of the modes. The effects of the ’two-mode’ and ’one-mode’ behaviours of the ternary mixed crystals on the interface phonon-polariton modes are shown in the dispersion curves.     

三元混晶四层系统的表面和界面声子极化激元

运用改进的无规元素等位移模型和玻恩-黄近似,结合电磁场的麦克斯韦方程和边界条件,研究了真空/极性二元晶体薄膜/极性三元混晶薄膜/极性二元晶体衬底四层系统的表面和界面声子极化激元.以AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs和ZnxCd1-xSe/ZnSe为例,获得了表面和界面声子极化激元模的色散关系以及表面模和界面模的频率随混晶组分和薄膜厚度的变化关系.结果表明,三元混晶四层异质结系统中存在七支表面和界面声子极化激元模,且这七支表面模和界面模的频率随混晶组分和薄膜厚度呈非线性变化,三元混晶的"单模"和"双模"性也在色散曲线中得到了很好的体现.

The numerical results of the polariton frequencies as functions of the wave-vector and the compositions for ternary mixed crystals AlxGa1-xAs, CdxZn1-xSe, and AlxGa1-xN are obtained and discussed. The new dispersion characteristics for exciton-polaritons in TMC systems are found in comparison with binary crystals. The splitting of the two branches of exciton-polariton frequencies varies nonlinearly with the composition of TMCs and has a minimum in the long-wavelength range.
