AbstractPreparation and characterization either by optical absorption, photoluminescence and micro-Raman spectroscopy of individual components as well as bilayers consisting of organic dye semiconductor Zinc Phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and fullerene, C60, thin films are reported. The layers and structures were deposited in vacuum and some fullerene films were also prepared by casting the C60 solution in benzene. The optical absorption and photoluminescence dependencies on film thickness in bilayers C60/ZnPc were observed and may be discussed in a context of interface induced simmetry reduction of C60 molecules.

ABSTRACTThin films of ternary (GeS3)1−xAgx glasses (x=0.1 and 0.2) are studied in this work. Thin films are fabricated in a vacuum thermal evaporator at 3 different evaporation angles (0°, 30° and 45°). All thin film samples are examined in Raman spectroscopy. Raman results of both normally and obliquely deposited thin film samples reveal Ge-S CS modes (∼340cm−1) , Ge-S ES (∼360cm−1) modes, and thiogermanate modes Q1∼Q3 (390cm−1∼437cm−1). In addition, sharp peaks due to sulfur rings (S8) are observed at 218cm−1 and 470cm−1. Raman line-shapes of thin films are qualitatively consistent with their corresponding bulk glasses. However, the sharp peaks due to sulfur rings were not observed in bulk glasses. By comparing CS modes of thin films of three angles, we observe that normally deposited (0 degree) thin film shows a red-shift in center and a broadening in width. The film thickness of normally deposited films are significantly smaller comparing with that of corresponding obliquely deposited films.

AbstractThis paper presents a brief review of the research that began in the early '80s, continued through the '90s, and produced a “standard model” for the optical absorption edge of amorphous silicon. The research began as a response to the invention of a-Si:H solar cells by Carlson and Wronski at RCA laboratories in 1976, and the subsequent worldwide interest in the optical characterization of a-Si:H thin films. The immediate need was soon met, but the research continued as an effort to understand the physics of the optical absorption edge in a-Si:H, as well as to understand the differences between, and similarities to, the indirect optical absorption edge of c-Si. In this paper, we highlight the successes of this standard model, and briefly cover its experimental and theoretical development over the last 25 years. We summarize its current status, and suggest some experimental and theoretical opportunities for, and challenges to, what may now be called a standard model for the optical absorption edge of both a-Si:H and a-Ge:H.

Optical absorption spectroscopy provides evidence for individually dispersed carbon nanotubes. A common method to disperse SWCNTs into aqueous solution is to sonicate the mixture in the presence of a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). In this paper, optical characterization of dsDNA-wrapped HiPco carbon nanotubes (dsDNA-SWCNT) was carried out using near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) experiments. The findings suggest that SWCNT dispersion is very good in the environment of DNA existing. Additionally, its dispersion depends on dsDNA concentration.
