The interaction of coherent acoustic phonons with electrons in semiconductor superlattices

This thesis presents a study of the electron-phonon interaction in an n-doped weakly coupled semiconductor superlattice (SL). Two experiments were performed which studied different aspects of this interaction. Firstly, a coherent phonon optics chip was designed. This was used in an experiment where...
