Abstract
Raman scattering by optical phonons is used to study the interface intermixing in isotopic (70Ge)n(74Ge)m thin superlattices, with n and m equal to 8, 12, 16 and 24 atomic monolayers, for annealling at 500°C and various times. The experimental results compares very well with theoretical calculations within the planar force constant model and the bond polarizability approach. The diffusion is simulated by a combination of the virtual crystal approximation and the solution of the Fick's diffusion equation for the superlattice geometry.
