The Raman-active transverse-optic (TO) phonon mode of Ru was measured in a series of Co/Ru superlattices. The changes in the frequency of the TO vibration, interpreted within the framework of confined phonons, are in excellent agreement with published dispersion curves for bulk Ru obtained from inelastic neutron-scattering experiments. Interpretations of the frequency shifts of the Ru TO mode as due to phonon-folding or lattice-strain effects are ruled out by the data.
