Abstract
We have measured the quantum efficiency for carrier generation as a function of photon energy and the electroabsorption spectrum in poly (phenyl methyl silane). The experimental data are consistent with a band gap of about 4.6 eV. A strong absorption peak which is observed at 3.7 eV is shown to be an exciton band.
