Abstract
Since most transport processes involve states at or near the valence- and conduction-band edges, it is useful to have probes which characterize the electronic structure within this energy region. The energy region of interest corresponds to photons having energies of a few hundredths to a few tenths of an electron volt, that is, the radio to infrared frequency region of the spectrum.
