Comparative study of the pressure dependence of optical-phonon transverse-effective charges and linewidths in wurtzite InN
Abstract
In this work, we investigate the hydrostatic pressure dependence of the zone center optical phonons of -plane and -plane wurtzite InN epilayers grown on GaN substrates. The longitudinal to transverse mode splitting for the and modes was found to increase with increasing pressure, whereas the associated transverse effective charge decreases for both modes as and (in units of elementary charge and in GPa). These observations are well in line with results for other II–VI, III–V, and group-IV semiconductor compounds as far as the relation between the magnitude and sign of the pressure derivative of and the bond ionicity is concerned. As the latter increases so does with a sign change from positive to negative for bond ionicities around for compounds with anions belonging to the first row of the Periodic Table. A comparison of the results for InN and other nine tetrahedrally bonded compounds indicate that the pressure behavior of the transverse effective charge is mainly determined by the strength of the Pauli repulsion between cation valence electrons and those of the anion core. We also perform ab initio calculations in order to address the origin of the observed increase in linewidth of the mode which is found to arise from a pressure-induced increase in the rate of two-phonon decay processes. In conclusion, this broadening is associated with tuning into resonance of a steep edge in the two-phonon density of states around 460 with the frequency of the mode.
