摘要
Pseudo unit cell (PUC) model was applied to investigate the phonons frequency, mode number, static dielectric constant and high frequency dielectric constant of AlxGa1-xN mixed crystals. The theoretical results were compared with experimental results obtained using Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy on samples with different mole fraction (0 <= x <= 1) grown on c-plane (0001) sapphire substrates. Theoretical results indicated that the AlxGa1-xN had only one-mode of vibration for A(1)(LO) and classified as two-mode behavior for small Al composition range in agreement with the experimental results which revealed a two-mode behavior for the E-1(TO).
