Raman spectra of p-type In{sub 0.53}Ga{sub 0.47}As with doping levels ranging from p=2{times}10{sup 17} to 5{times}10{sup 19} cm{sup {minus}3} have been investigated. Analysis of the Raman line shape and its dependence on the free-hole density demonstrates four-mode behavior of optical phonons. Based on the oscillator strength and Faust-Henry factors of the optical phonons determined from the Raman data, and lattice-dynamic calculations of the phonon dispersion relations in ordered structures of InGaAs{sub 2}, we show a relationship between the observed four-mode behavior and short-range order phase-separation effects. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
