Abstract
We have studied Raman scattering from 〈100〉 GaAs samples implanted with 270‐keV As+ ions with various fluences up to 3.2×1014 cm−2. In addition to phonon density of states effects, we observe a softening and asymmetric broadening of the allowed LO phonon while the small symmetry forbidden TO phonon remains almost unchanged. The behavior of the LO and TO modes can be explained quantitatively on the basis of a ‘‘spatial correlation’’ model related to q‐vector relaxation induced by the damage. Our interpretation is quite general and makes it possible to use Raman spectra to evaluate an average size of undamaged regions in semiconductors.Keywords
