Abstract
Resonance Raman spectroscopy is used to probe the asymmetric broadening of the LO phonon linewidth in a dilute GaAs 1-xN x alloy (x=0.41%). Electronic Raman scattering from a broad continuum is observed that gets enhanced concurrently with the LO phonon linewidth under resonance. The Fano interaction between the LO phonon and the electronic continuum is used to develop a model that satisfactorily explains the origin of the asymmetric LO phonon linewidth broadening in this abnormal alloy as arising due to coupling between the discrete and the continuum configurations.
