As device dimensions in electronic and optoelectronic devices are reduced, the characteristics and interactions of dimensionally-confined longitudinal-optical (LO) and acoustic phonons deviate substantially from those of bulk semiconductors. Furthermore, as würtzite materials are applied increasingly in electronic and optoelectronic devices it becomes more important to understand the phonon modes in such systems. This account emphasizes the properties of bulk optical phonons in würtzite structures, the properties of LO-phonon modes and acoustic-phonon modes arising in polar-semiconductor quantum wells, superlattices, quantum wires and quantum dots, with a variety of cross sectional geometries and, lastly, the properties of optical phonons in würtzite materials as predicted by the dielectric continuum model. Emphasis is placed on the dielectric continuum and elastic continuum models of bulk, confined and interface phonons. This article emphasizes device applications of confined phonons in GaAs-based systems and provides a brief discussion of carrier-LO-phonon interactions in bulk würtzite structures. This account also includes discussions on the use of metal-semiconductor heterointerfaces to reduce scattering and on the role of phonons in Fröhlich, deformation and piezoelectric interactions in electronic and optoelectronic structures; specific device applications high-lighted here include quantum cascade lasers, mesoscopic devices, thermoelectric devices and optically-pumped resonant intersubband lasers.

The intrinsic photoconductivity of several samples of the alloy GaAsxSb1−x has been studied at 4.2 K in the presence of magnetic fields of up to 65 kG. Values for the band-gap, the reduced effective mass of the carriers, the energy of the longitudinal optical phonons across the alloy composition are deduced from the measurements.

We have carried out experiments of magnetophonon resonance on n-InSb doped at 4.6 × 1013 cm−3 at a temperature of 135 K. The second derivative of longitudinal and transverse magnetoresistance exhibits obviously spin-resolved peaks of magnetophonon resonances involving one or two longitudinal optical phonons. Among these "over-structures" appear spin-flip resonances, particularly the 0−0+ resonance.The structures of the magnetoresistance are explained from the calculation of resonance fields, based on our method of determination of the Landau levels.

The scattering intensity (SI) for an electron resonant Raman scattering (ERRS) process in a free-standing semiconductor quantum wire of cylindrical geometry associated with bulk longitudinal optical (LO) phonon modes or the surface optical (SO) phonon modes is calculated for T=0 K . The Fröhlich interaction is considered to illustrate the theory for a GaAs system. Electron states are confined within a free-standing quantum wire (FSW). Single parabolic conduction and valence bands are assumed. The selection rules are studied. Numerical results and a discussion are also presented for various radii of the cylindrical quantum wires.
