21. -1. Hence, it is unlikely that there is any change in the structure of the Au film which could result in a significant change in the acoustic attenuation.
22. The different periods evident in Fig. 2(b) are caused by a small gradient in film thickness across the sample, and are not a result of the irradiation.
