Abstract

A method and apparatus for a contactless mode of electroreflectance (ER) which utilizes a condenser-like system, of which the front electrode is light transparent, i.e., for instance, consists of a transparent conductive coating on a transparent substrate which is separated from the sample surface by a thin layer of air. With the use of the method and apparatus of this invention, the contactless electroreflectance spectra could be measured at 300K from a number of materials including semi-insulating bulk GaAs, bulk Si, bulk Hg.sub.0.75 Cd.sub.0.25 Te, a GaAs structure with large uniform electric field and a GaAs/GaAlAs coupled double quantum well.
