Abstract

Holding promising applications in power electronics, the ultra-wide band gap material gallium oxide has emerged as a vital alternative to materials like GaN and SiC. The detailed study of phonon modes in β-Ga2O3 provides insights into fundamental material properties such as crystal structure and ori...

The detailed study of phonon modes in β-Ga2O3 provides insights into fundamental material properties such as crystal structure and orientation and can contribute to the identification of dopants and point defects. We investigate the Raman active phonon modes of β-Ga2O3 in two different oxygen isotope compositions (16O,18O) by experiment and theory: By carrying out polarized micro-Raman spectroscopy measurements on the (010) and ([2 with combining macron]01) planes, we determine the frequencies of all 15 Raman active phonons for both isotopologues.
