Abstract
Investigations of photoacoustic response of different layered semi-con ductor PbI2 polytypes, that depend on the quantum energy h nu(ex), exc iting densities I-o, and temperature T (4.5 - 300 K), show that the ma in mechanism of the sound generation in such materials under photo-exc itation by periodical nanosecond-laser-pulses is thermoelastic. The ob served structure of photoacoustic response changes is connected with d istruction of the samples and appearance of thermally detached areas.
