Abstract

Photoacoustic spectroscopy has been employed to study the electronic spectra of a variety of solids. The systems studied include powders of intensely coloured dyes, amorphous chalcogenides and oxide gels besides polycrystalline samples of several oxide materials. Surface sensitivity of the technique has been examined by study of dye adsorption on oxide surfaces and determination of surface areas of active oxides. Acidic and basic sites on catalyst surfaces have also been estimated by this technique.
