Resonant piezoelectric optoacoustic detection of surface and bulk phase transitions
A new technique for optoacoustic determination of phase transitions is described, based on the resonant piezoelectric detection of the acoustic signal generated by the thermal excitation of the sample by means of a low power modulated diode laser. The technique does not make use of a gas cell and a...
