AlxIn1-xN films (0.03 <= x <= 0.80), particularly indium-rich AlInN films, are studied by Raman scattering. We clearly observe a two-mode behavior of A(1)(LO) phonon and prove that the previous theoretical prediction and experimental attribution of InN-like A(1)(LO) to E-2(H) mode are incorrect. Using the modified random-element isodisplacement model of Chang and Mitra, the information about AlInN lattice vibration is extracted. We believe that these results imply a strong positive force interaction between In and Al sublattices in AlInN. The strong interaction makes AlInN different with AlGaN in A(1)(LO) phonon mode behavior.
