Abstract

A simple microscopic theory is developed to study the optical phonons in polar semiconductor superlattices near the zone center. This theory is based on a rigid-ion model with a simplified Coulomb interaction. With this theory one can gain much understanding about the anisotropic behavior of long-wavelength optical phonons and the interface modes in polar superlattices.
