Abstract
The piezoelectric photoacoustic (PPA) measurements of Alx Ga1-xAs (x=0.22, 0.28, 0.5) epitaxial layer grown on GaAs substrate were carried out in the temperature range from 297 to 80 K. In addition to the band-gap signal of GaAs substrate, the direct band-gap of AlGaAs were clearly observed in the higher photon-energy region. It was found that the temperature coefficient of the direct band-gap decreased with increasing Al mole fraction
