C. Ferrer et al., THE APPLICATION OF THE PHOTOACOUSTIC TRANSMITTANCE OSCILLATIONS FOR DETERMINING ELASTIC-CONSTANTS IN GALLIUM AND INDIUM SELENIDES, Journal of applied physics, 79(6), 1996, pp. 3200-3204
Transmittance periodic oscillations are observed in GaSe and InSe on e
xcitation with optical pulses. Such oscillations are explained in term
s of photoacoustic generation of dilatational waves, which become reso
nant within the crystal. Spectral analysis of those oscillations in sa
mples of different thickness has led to an accurate determination of t
he longitudinal acoustic-wave velocity along the crystallographic axis
