Presented here are a combined Rayleigh, Raman and photolumines-cence studies of AlxGa1-xAs alloy grown by molecular-beam-epitaxy. The Rayleigh intensity is found to be sensitive to the degree of disorder in the alloy. The appearance of “forbidden” TO mode in Raman spectra is likely due to twinning effects inducing internal microscopic misorientation. All LO phonons, around X and L points, contribute to the phonon-assisted exciton recombination process examined in photoluminescence spectra. Also shown in the paper is the discrepancy between the results of existing methods to determine alloy concentration from Raman and photoluminescence data.
