Digression: ion bombardment <strong>of</strong> a<br />

superlattice (with Y. Cao and D. Jena)<br />

• 2.3 MeV Ar ion<br />

irradiation <strong>of</strong> GaN and<br />

(AlN) 4 nm -(GaN) 5 nm<br />

• Lines are Debye-<br />

Callaway models<br />

assuming phonon<br />

Rayleigh scattering<br />

scales linearly with ion<br />
