ABSTRACTThe optical properties of SbBiI3 alloys have been investigated experimentally by absorption measurements and theoretically by a full-potential augmented plane wave (FPLAPW) method within the generalized gradient approximation. The fundamental band-gap energy of these alloys changes from BiI3- to SbI3-like with increasing percentage of Sb content. The calculated band-gap energies as well as the optical absorption were found to be in a very good qualitatively agreement with the experimental results. We present calculated density-of-states as well as the dielectric functions for evaluation of future experiments.

It was established that minimal content of the glass-forming component GeS2 is equal to 30 mol.% (by exploration the set of 23 different alloys with different composition). Correlation between structural properties, thermal parameters (glass transition, crystallization and melting temperatures) and optical absorption spectra along of the titled glasses system has been found. The temperatures, the band gap energy and the characteristic energy of vitreous alloys for the gastric system Tl2S‑In2S3‑GeS2 were investigated experimentally.

Splitting Parameter

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and optical absorption spectra of Mn2+ ions in alkali borotellurite glass systems have been studied. The EPR spectra of all the glass samples exhibit three resonance signals at g ≈ 2.0, g ≈ 3.3 and g ≈ 4.3. A six line hyperfine structure has also been observed at g ≈ 2.0. The concentration and temperature dependence of EPR signals were studied for Mn2+ ions in potassium borotellurite glass samples. The zero-field splitting parameter D has been calculated for different alkali borotellurite glass samples from the intensities of the allowed hyperfine lines. The paramagnetic susceptibility was calculated from the EPR data at various temperatures and the Curie constant was calculated from the 1/χ versus T graph. The optical absorption spectrum exhibits a single broad band near 498 nm and this has been attributed to the spin-allowed 5Eg → 5T2g transition of Mn3+ ions in octahedral symmetry. The optical band gap energy (E opt ) and Urbach energy (Δ E) were calculated from their ultraviolet edges. The optical band gap energy varies between 3.38 and 3.61 eV and increases from Li to K glasses.

Nanocomposite (NCP) films of polycarbonate-polybutylene terephthalate (PC-PBT) blend as a host material to Cr2O3 and CdS nanoparticles (NPs) were fabricated by both thermolysis and casting techniques. Samples from the PC-PBT/Cr2O3 and PC-PBT/CdS NCPs were irradiated using different doses (20–110 kGy) of γ radiation. The induced modifications in the optical properties of the γ irradiated NCPs have been studied as a function of γ dose using UV Vis spectroscopy and CIE color difference method. Optical dielectric loss and Tauc's model were used to estimate the optical band gaps of the NCP films and to identify the types of electronic transition. The value of optical band gap energy of PC-PBT/Cr2O3 NCP was reduced from 3.23 to 3.06 upon γ irradiation up to 110 kGy, while it decreased from 4.26 to 4.14 eV for PC-PBT/CdS NCP, indicating the growth of disordered phase in both NCPs. This was accompanied by a rise in the refractive index for both the PC-PBT/Cr2O3 and PC-PBT/CdS NCP films, leading to an enhancement in their isotropic nature. The Cr2O3 NPs were found to be more effective in changing the band gap energy and refractive index due to the presence of excess oxygen atoms that help with the oxygen atoms of the carbonyl group in increasing the chance of covalent bonds formation between the NPs and the PC-PBT blend. Moreover, the color intensity, ΔE has been computed; results show that both the two synthesized NCPs have a response to color alteration by γ irradiation, but the PC-PBT/Cr2O3 has a more response since the values of ΔE achieved a significant color difference >5 which is an acceptable match in commercial reproduction on printing presses. According to the resulting enhancement in the optical characteristics of the developed NCPs, they can be a suitable candidate as activate materials in optoelectronic devices, or shielding sheets for solar cells.

 Selenium-based chalcogenides are useful in telecommunication devices like infrared optics and threshold switching devices. The investigated system of Ge5Se95-xZnx (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 4 at.%) has been prepared from high purity constituent elements. Thin films from the bulk material were deposited by vacuum thermal evaporation. Optical absorbance measurements have been performed on the as-deposited thin films using transmission spectra. The allowed optical transition was found to be indirect and the corresponding band gap energy determined. The variation of optical band gap energy with the average coordination number has also been investigated based on the chemical bonding between the constituents and the rigidity behaviour of the system’s network.

The contemporary market needs for enhanced solid–state lighting devices has led to an increased demand for the production of willemite based phosphors using low-cost techniques. In this study, Ce3+ doped willemite nanoparticles were fabricated using polymer thermal treatment method. The special effects of the calcination temperatures and the dopant concentration on the structural and optical properties of the material were thoroughly studied. The XRD analysis of the samples treated at 900 °C revealed the development and or materialization of the willemite phase. The increase in the dopant concentration causes an expansion of the lattice owing to the replacement of larger Ce3+ ions for smaller Zn2+ ions. Based on the FESEM and TEM micrographs, the nanoparticles size increases with the increase in the cerium ions. The mean particles sizes were estimated to be 23.61 nm at 1 mol% to 34.02 nm at 5 mol% of the cerium dopant. The optical band gap energy of the doped samples formed at 900 °C decreased precisely by 0.21 eV (i.e., 5.21 to 5.00 eV). The PL analysis of the doped samples exhibits a strong emission at 400 nm which is ascribed to the transition of an electron from localized Ce2f state to the valence band of O2p. The energy level of the Ce3+ ions affects the willemite crystal lattice, thus causing a decrease in the intensity of the green emission at 530 nm and the blue emission at 485 nm. The wide optical band gap energy of the willemite produced is expected to pave the way for exciting innovations in solid–state lighting applications.
