ABSTRACTInfrared absorption measurements have been made in three kinds of Bi compounds of a high-Tc family mainly by making use of powdered samples. Two of them are superconductors with Tc's of 108 K and 82 K, respectively, and the remaining one is a semiconductor. In each of the superconducting compounds, there appears Mid-Infrared absorption band: No such absorption band is found in the semiconducting compound. At Far-Infrared region, many absorption peaks due to phonons are clearly detected in all of these samples. Some of the phonon modes have been identified. At very low energy region, free carrier absorption appears in superconductors. Only this part of the absorption shows a temperature dependence. Absorption intensity decreases as the temperature decreases.

AbstractThe far-infrared extinction of various silicates was measured in the 27 - 400 μm range of wavelength. The SiO2content of our samples distributes between 45 and 100 weight (wt.)%. There is no distinct absorption band in the far-infrared region and the extinction decreases in proportion toλ−1.4.

AbstractWe report the investigation of free-carrier absorption characteristics for epitaxially grown p-type thin films in the far-infrared region (50 ∼ 200 μm), where homojunction interfacial workfunction internal photoemission (HIWIP) detectors are employed. Five Si and three GaAs thin films were grown by MBE over a range of carrier concentrations, and the experimental absorption data were compared with calculated results. The freehole absorption is found to be almost independent of the wavelength. A linear regression relationship between the absorption coefficient and the carrier concentration, in agreement with theory, has been obtained and employed to calculate the photon absorption probability in HIWIP detectors. The detector responsivity follows the quantum efficiency predicted by concentration dependence of the free carrier absorption coefficient.

Far-infrared absorption measurements have been made on bulk samples of d-h.c.p. lanthanum and the results indicate a gap width, 2Δ, of 11.6 ± 0.3 cm−1 or 1.44 ± 0.04 meV. Using a value of Tc = 4.87 ± 0.02 °K, taken from the literature, this gives 2Δ = (3.43 ± 0.09)kTc.
