Abstract

The interface phonon–polaritons in quantum well systems consisting of polar ternary mixed crystals are investigated. The numerical results of the interface phonon-polariton frequencies in the GaAs/AlxGa1–xAs, ZnSxSe1–x/ZnS, and ZnxCd1–xSe/ZnSe quantum well systems are obtained and discussed. It is shown that there are six branches of interface phonon-polariton modes distributed in three bulk phonon-polariton forbidden bands in the systems. The electric fields of interface phonon–polaritons are also presented and show the interface locality of the modes. The effects of the ‘two-mode’ and ‘one-mode’ behaviours of the ternary mixed crystals on the interface phonon-polariton modes are shown in the dispersion curves.
