Abstract
Based on a pseudopotential approach under the virtual crystal approximation that includes the effect of compositional disorder, the optical lattice vibration frequencies and polaron related parameters in zinc-blende GaxIn1−xP have been studied. Our findings showed generally reasonably good accord with data in the literature. Other case, our results are predictions. The composition dependence of longitudinal optical (LO) and transverse optical (TO) phonon modes, LO-TO splittings, Frӧhlich coupling parameter, Debye temperature of LO phonon frequency, and polaron effective mass has been analyzed and discussed. While a non-monotonic behavior has been noticed for the LO and TO phonon frequencies versus Ga concentration x, a monotonic behavior has been observed for the rest of the features of interest. The information derived from this investigation may be useful for optoelectronic technological applications.
