Group II-VI compounds have been investigated largely in last two decades due to their interesting optoelectronic properties. ZnTe, a member of this family, possesses a bandgap around 2.26eV. This material is now a day investigated in thin film form due to its potential towards various viable applications. In this paper, the authors report their investigations on the preparation of ZnTe thin films using vacuum evaporation technique and their structural and optical characterizations. The structural characterization, carried out using an X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique shows that ZnTe used in present case possesses a cubic structure. Using the same data, the micro strain and dislocation density were evaluated and found to be around 1.465×10-3lines-m2and 1.639×1015lines/m2respecctively. The optical characterization carried out in UV-VIS-NIR region reveals the fact that band gap of ZnTe is around 2.2eV in present case. In addition to this, it was observed that the value of bandgap decreases as the thickness of films increases. The direct transitions of the carries are involved in ZnTe. Using the data of UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy, the transmission coefficient and extinction coefficient were also calculated for ZnTe thin films. Besides, the variation of extinction coefficient with wavelength has also been discussed here.

In the development of full-field transmission X-ray microscopy for basic study in science and technology, a condenser capable of providing intense illumination with high uniformity and stability on tested specimens in order to achieve high-quality images is essential. The latest design of a square-shaped condenser based on diffractive gratings has demonstrated promising uniformity in illumination. This paper describes in more detail the development of such a beam shaper for hard X-rays at 10 keV with regard to its design, manufacture and optical characterization. The effect of the grating profile on the diffracted intensity has been theoretically predicted by numerical simulation using the finite-difference time-domain method. Based on this, the limitations of the grating-based condenser are discussed.

AbstractA variety of cellular SiO2 materials have been synthesized using a foaming sol-gel process and their properties have been characterized. The process uses the rapid viscosity change during gelation to stabilize the structure of a foamed silica sol. It was found that the properties of these cellular materials are determined by method used. For example, the porosity and strength of these porous oxides depend on method of agitation and addition of Freon during the foaming process.Density measurements, viscosity measurements as a function of pH, optical characterization, x-ray crystallography, ultimate compressive strength, dielectric constant measurements and thermal diffusivity were used to characterize these porous SiO2 materials. This paper will discuss the synthetic processes used to develop the porous silicas and properties of these materials.

ZnS nanoparticles were prepared from homogeneous chemical co-precipitation reaction by using zinc acetate, sodium sulfide [Na2S] and Poly Vinyl Polypyrrolidone [PVP]. The basic, morphological, and optical properties of the synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDX) and Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) absorption. The structural and optical characterization of the samples observed by SEM, FTIR, EDX and UV-Vis spectrometer showed that ZnS nanoparticles were formed.

Zinc Oxide and Glucose capped Zinc Oxide nanoparticles have been prepared using modified chemical reaction method. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the prepared samples possess polycrystalline nature with hexagonal structure. Surface morphology has been analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. The estimated value of band gap was found to be 3.41 and 3.87 eV for Zinc Oxide and Glucose capped ZnO respectively. Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopic analysis has been carried out to find the chemical bond and elemental composition present in Zinc Oxide and Glucose capped Zinc Oxide.

30-pair AlAs/GaAs distributed Bragg reflector (DBR), which has 1030 nm center reflectivity, is studied extensively by means of High Resolution X-ray Diffraction (HR-XRD) and reflectivity measurements. Theta/2-Theta measurements and dynamical simulations have been done for (002), (004) and (006) planes to determine strain and thickness of AlAs and GaAs layers in the DBR stack. Reciprocal space mappings (RSMs) are measured for same planes and also for (224) plane to find out tilt and relaxation of the DBR stack. Relaxation is not observed and it is confirmed with symmetric in-plane (400) Theta/2-Theta and RSM measurements. This is a first study in the literature according to the best of our knowledge. Finally, we have shown sensitivity of high angle diffraction planes to disorders in crystal. Angle-dependent reflectivity simulations have been also done and compared with measurements. 99.99% reflectivity is obtained with 99.5 nm stop bandwidth and 482.7 nm penetration depth.
