in uv vis spectroscopy of solids there is contained information about the states within the valence band and conduction band including the band gap but also excitonic transitions, urbach tail parameter (structural or electronic defects that cause absorption tails), thickness (in thin films) or particle size (particles), refeaction index k and n.
yes , you can do that by taking the absorption spectra and the electrical properties of thin films for the materials which are under investigation. we do do that when we studied the effect of doping in aromatic system.
