These signals can be assigned to the fundamental longitudinal
optical phonon mode [E.sub.1](LO) and its first overtone mode (2LO), respectively [28, 29].
Processes (0) and (0') are transitions that do not require a phonon, whereas processes (1) and ([1.sup.[dagger]]) require an
optical phonon. Similarly, (n) and ([n.sup.[dagger]]) are transitions involving n
optical phonons (n = 2,3,4,...).

The decrease in drift mobility with temperature at low fields is due to increased intra-valley polar
optical phonon scattering whereas the decrease in velocity at higher fields is due to increased intra and inter valley scattering.
The corresponding average
optical phonon energy is given within the present formalism (due to (21)) just by the fourth discrete oscillator; that is, [[bar.[epsilon]].sub.U] = [[bar.[epsilon]].sub.TO&LO] = [[epsilon].sub.4].
In short-period superlattice, the large gaps between acoustic and
optical phonon branches make the scattering rarely happen and thus lead to high thermal conductivity, even higher than its corresponding pure materials.

On the other hand, vibration with frequencies corresponding to
optical phonon modes in various materials has been observed by pump-probe spectroscopy.
In our previous work, the carrier escape and capture processes between the unconfined bulk states and the confined quantum states have been calculated from the first principle by evaluating the carrier-polar
optical phonon interactions, and the details of their physical meaning have been discussed and will not be repeated here for simplicity.
They show a dominant peak of typical characteristic of the wurtzite ZnO structure at 439 [cm.sup.-1], assigned to be the
optical phonon E2H mode.
There are nine zone-center
optical phonon modes with symmetries 4[A.sub.u] + 5[B.sub.u] + [A.sub.g] + 2[B.sub.g]; only three [A.sub.g] + 2[B.sub.g] modes are Raman active.
