Session D40 - Poster Session I.
POSTER session, Monday afternoon, March 12
Exhibit Hall, Washington State Convention Center
Recently, N. Munoz-Aguirre et. al (N. Munoz-Aguirre, G. Gonzalez de la Cruz, Yu. G. Gurevich, G.N. Logvinov, and M.N. Kasyanchuk, Phys. Stat. Sol. (b), vol. 220, p. 781 (2000))reported a theoretical treatment of the heat diffusion in two-layer structures for application to photoacoustic experiments. They showed that the influence of the interface thermal contact between the layers plays an important role on the effective thermal parameters. In this work, the theory has been extended to the case of the Mirage effect detected by means of a Michelson-Morley interferometer, and applied to the system air-Mn_xCd_1-xTe, with x in the range 0.05 - 0.60.
