The purpose of this paper is to study the wave propagation in a non-homogenous semiconducting medium through the photothermal process using the fractional order photo-thermoelastic without neglecting the coupling between the plasma and thermoelastic waves that photogenerated through traction free and loaded thermally by exponentially decaying pulse boundary heat flux.

In this paper, the fractional order theory has been applied for thermal, elastic and plasma waves to determine the carrier density, displacement, temperature and stress in a semiconductor medium. The thermal, elastic and plasma waves in a semi-infinite medium photogenerated by a focused laser beam were analyzed. The Laplace transformation is used to express the governing equation and solved analytically ... Read more
