Bandgap measurements of nonspecular materials using a bifurcated fiber optic method of diffuse reflectance

Creator:

Wells, Blake

Abstract:

A method for determining bandgap energy using diffuse reflection is presented. The method uses bifurcated fiber optic cables to measure the diffuse reflection of diffusely reflective materials. The absorption spectrum is extrapolated from the diffuse reflection spectrum and used to determine the bandgap of powdered materials. The theory of nonspecular...
