Abstract
Over the past few years the photoacoustic technique has developed as a powerful tool for studying the optical an thermal properties of solids [1]. Several researchers have reported the results of studies of the optical properties of semiconductors in crystalline and amorphous forms using this technique [2,3,4]. This technique has several distinct advantages over the conventional reflection and transmission techniques in the study of highly absorbing and powder materials where the scattering of light is a serious problem.
