Raman Analysis of Zn$\text{}_{1-x}$Mg$\text{}_{x}$Se Layers Grown on GaAs and ZnTe Substrates

A study of the Raman scattering in Zn$\text{}_{1-x}$Mg$\text{}_{x}$Se (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) epilayers grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (100) GaAs and (111)$\text{}_{Zn}$ ZnTe substrates has been performed. Two kinds of longitudinal optical phonon modes (LO$\text{}_{Zn-Se}$ and LO$\text{}_{Mg-Se}$) were observed under excitation of the Ar$\text{}^{+}$ and Kr$\text{}^{+}$ laser lines at room temperature, whose frequencies and intensities depend characteristically on the Mg content.
