crystalline, disordered and ion-implanted, and pulse laser annealed (PLA), using
temperature-dependent Raman scattering, is reported for various phonon modes over the
temperature range 10–300 K. The disordered and PLA samples are found to have greater
anharmonicity than crystalline GaAs. The localized vibrational mode in PLA GaAs shows
shorter relaxation time than the LO-phonon mode.
