Journal Article
Czerniuk, T., Ehrlich, T., Wecker, T., As, D., Yakovlev, D., Akimov, A., & Bayer, M. (2017). Picosecond acoustics in single quantum wells of cubic GaN/(Al,Ga)N. Physical Review Applied, 7(1), Article 014006. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevApplied.7.014006

A picosecond acoustic pulse is used to study the photoelastic interaction in single zinc-blende GaN/AlxGa1−xN quantum wells. We use an optical time-resolved pump-probe setup and demonstrate that tuning the photon energy to the quantum well’s lowest e...
