The optical bandgap energy of lead iodide PbI2, grown by Bridgman's method, is obtained by photoacoustic spectroscopy. Due to its potential applications, as a room temperature, semiconductor material detector, which may be used as a photocell, or as a x- and γ-ray radiation detector, the physical properties of PbI2 have attracted much attention. We computed, by different methods the bandgap energy. We found the energy in a range 2.301±0.038≤〈Eg〉≤2.359±0.037 eV. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
