摘要
Raman scattering on InAs coated with 60 to 100 Angstrom thick Nb films (T-c = 2.5 to 5K) is studied. The Nb films, sputtered onto in-situ ion-etched n(+)-InAs (1.2x10(19)cm(-3)) are flat to similar to 5 Angstrom. The low-frequency coupled plasmon-phonon Raman mode (L_) associated with bulk InAs is centered at 221cm(-1). The forbidden LO phonon at 237cm(-1), associated with the surface charge accumulation region (CAR), is observed because the thickness of the surface CAR is less than the Thomas-Fermi screening length. As the temperature is reduced below T-c the magnitude of the LO phonon mode intensity, relative to that of the L_ mode, increases by more than 40%.
