Abstract
A simple model is proposed to describe the phonon spectra of isotopic superlattices grown in the (1 0 0) direction. A perturbative approach is developed to obtain simple formulae for the eigenfrequencies, the gaps and the eigenstates. Numerical results in (70Ge)n–(74Ge)n superlattice agree quite well with more sophisticated models and experimental results reported recently.
