Composition Dependence of Surface Phonon Polariton Mode in Wurtzite In_xGa_1-xN (0≤x≤1) Ternary Alloy

We present a theoretical study on the composition dependence of the surface phonon polariton (SPP) mode in wurtzite structure α-In_xGa_1-xN ternary alloy over the whole composition range. The SPP modes are obtained by the theoretical simulations by means of an anisotropy model. The results reveal that the SPP mode of α-In_xGa_1-xN semiconductors exhibits one-mode behaviour. From these data, composition dependence of the SPP mode with bowing parameter of -28.9cm^-1 is theoretically obtained..
