Thermal-conductivity measurements of GaAs/AlAs superlattices using a picosecond optical pump-and-probe technique
Abstract
We present measurements of the lattice thermal conductivity ${\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$ normal to the interfaces of $(\mathrm{GaAs}{)}_{n}/(\mathrm{AlAs}{)}_{n}$ superlattices with n between 1 and 40 monolayers. The conductivity was measured by an optical pump-and-probe technique in the temperature range of 100 to 375 K. In the experiment, an Al film is deposited onto a superlattice sample, and the rate at which this film cools by conduction into the superlattice is determined. We find a general decrease in ${\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$ with a reduction of the superlattice period. At 300 K, ${\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$ of the $(\mathrm{GaAs}{)}_{40}/(\mathrm{AlAs}{)}_{40}$ superlattice is approximately three times less than $\ensuremath{\kappa}$ of bulk GaAs, and ${\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$ of the $(\mathrm{GaAs}{)}_{1}/(\mathrm{AlAs}{)}_{1}$ superlattice is an order of magnitude less than $\ensuremath{\kappa}$ of bulk GaAs. We discuss the decrease in ${\ensuremath{\kappa}}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$ compared to the bulk constituents in terms of extrinsic and intrinsic scattering mechanisms.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
