The design and construction of a novel cryogenic cell which may be used to carry out photoacoustic measurements on either opaque or transparent samples are described. The design allows any temperature to be employed within 0.5 K. Results for graphite test samples show the expected inverse frequency dependence of the photoacoustic signal, increase in signal with decreasing temperature and resonance effects at low temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
