ABSTRACTWe have investigated the Raman and the phonon transmission spectra of a-Si:H/a-SiNx:H super lattices. At low wavenumbers, the Raman spectrum shows sharp peaks corresponding to the excitation of modes from the folded branches of the dispersion relation for longitudinal acoustic phonons propagating perpendicular to the layers. Energy gaps in the folded phonon dispersion occur at the center and at the boundary of the mini-Brillouin zone due to the differences in the acoustic impedances of the layers. The size of the lowest gaps was determined by light scattering. The phonon transmission spectra show transmission minima that we attribute to the frequency gaps in the dispersion of transversal acoustic phonons. The position and width of these minima are compared with the dispersion obtained from the Raman data.
