Dear Colleagues!

I have a question concerning the band-gap calculated from absorption data by Tauc-plot.

I obtain absorption data from photo-thermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS) and uv-visible light absorption and plot it as (E*a)^0.5. The extrapolation of the linear region and intersection with a=0 reveals Eg~2.15 and Eg~2.3 for PDS and UV/VIS, respectively. 

I wonder where the difference might come from?

All comments are very welcome!

Yours,

Chris
