Abstract

We show that the phonon spectra of finite GaAs/AIAs(001) superlattices along their growth direction display a new type of confined surface modes which split off the superlattice confined optical branches. Their frequency location and decay inside the superlattice is investigated by means of a model calculation and compared with the behaviour of surface states of semi-infinite GaAs.
