As a result of matching the theoretical and experimental photoacoustic spectra, thermal and optical parameters of these layers were determined. Thermal parameters of the surface layers, such as thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity, turned out to be much worse than the analogous parameters of the substrate. The increase in the optical absorption of surface layers for photon energies below Eg was also determined. Eg was also determined.}, type={Article}, title={Investigations of optical and thermal properties of surface layers of Cd1−xBexTe samples by the photoacoustic method}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/131259/PDF-MASTER/OPELRE_2024_32_2_L_Bychto.pdf}, doi={10.24425/opelre.2024.150186}, keywords={thermal parameters, optical parameters, surface layers, photoacoustics}, }
