Abstract New Zn2P2O7, K2ZnP2O7 and KZn1.5P2O7 compounds were synthesized with conventional solid solid reaction method. The optical properties have been studied by using UV-Visible spectrophotometer. The optical band gaps (Eg) were found to be 3.76 eV, 3.39 eV and 3.59eV respectively. Optical parameters such as refractive index, Cauchy’s parameters and conductivity were deduced. The refractive index fitting in the visible range and the dispersion parameters (E0 and Ed) of these compounds were estimated using the Wemple–DiDomenico model.

In this work, a green approach was implemented to prepare polymer composites using polyvinyl alcohol polymer and the extract of black tea leaves (polyphenols) in a complex form with Co2+ ions. A range of techniques was used to characterize the Co2+ complex and polymer composite, such as Ultraviolet–visible (UV-Visible) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The optical parameters of absorption edge, refractive index (n), dielectric properties including real and imaginary parts (εr, and εi) were also investigated. The FRIR and XRD spectra were used to examine the compatibility between the PVA polymer and Co2+-polyphenol complex. The extent of interaction was evidenced from the shifts and change in the intensity of the peaks. The relatively wide amorphous phase in PVA polymer increased upon insertion of the Co2+-polyphenol complex. The amorphous character of the Co2+ complex was emphasized with the appearance of a hump in the XRD pattern. From UV-Visible spectroscopy, the optical properties, such as absorption edge, refractive index (n), (εr), (εi), and bandgap energy (Eg) of parent PVA and composite films were specified. The Eg of PVA was lowered from 5.8 to 1.82 eV upon addition of 45 mL of Co2+-polyphenol complex. The N/m* was calculated from the optical dielectric function. Ultimately, various types of electronic transitions within the polymer composites were specified using Tauc’s method. The direct bandgap (DBG) treatment of polymer composites with a developed amorphous phase is fundamental for commercialization in optoelectronic devices.

Abstract (1−x)CuCo2O4/xMnS (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5) nanocomposite samples were formed using hydrothermal and thermolysis procedures. X-ray diffraction (XRD) phase analysis showed the formation of only CuCo2O4 phase necessitating the inclusion of Mn and S ions into the CuCo2O4 lattice. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses confirmed the presence of Mn and S ions in the nanocomposite samples. Rietveld refinement method was applied to determine the cation distribution of the different ions between different sites. The cell parameter (a) has no fixed trend of change. The average crystallite size is almost the same for all samples with an average of 15 nm. The effect of insertion of Mn and S ions into the CuCo2O4 on the diffused absorbance, extinction coefficient, refractive index, dielectric properties, and nonlinear optical parameters was discussed in detail. The pristine CuCo2O4 nanoparticles have two direct optical band gaps (1.65, 2.74) eV which are decreased to (1.59, 2.56) and (1.58, 2.54) eV for the MnS content x = 0.25 and 0.5, respectively. The two indirect optical band gaps of pristine CuCo2O4 changed irregularly as the MnS amount increased in the nanocomposite. The PL spectrum of CuCo2O4 is shifted to higher wavelength in the visible region upon alloying with MnS. The photoluminescence (PL) intensity of the nanocomposite samples is smaller than that of CuCo2O4 sample. The emitted PL colors depended on the amount of Mn and S ions in the CuCo2O4 matrix.

In this work we investigate the effect of metal layer in the Al-doped ZnO (AZO)/Al/AZO structure. AZO and Al thin films are deposed successively at room temperature using DC magnetron sputtering by rotating the substrate holder without breaking the vacuum. The optical characterization of AZO/Al/AZO structure was performed by the spectroscopic ellipsometry under different incidence angles (55[Formula: see text], 65[Formula: see text] and 75[Formula: see text]). For the AZO monolayer structure, it was found that the complex refractive index and the complex permittivity coefficient varied differently according to the incidence angle. The addition of Al layer (5[Formula: see text]nm thicknesses) in this monostructure reduces significantly this influence on the measurement, homogenizes the real refractive index variation and significantly reduces the real electrical coefficient permittivity in the visible range. In addition, the obtained depolarization values confirm the results of the AFM roughness revealing that the Al layer addition makes the surface smoother so that it meets the required conditions as the bottom electrode of organic light emitting diodes. The photoluminescence (PL) measurements indicate that the Al layer alters the PL emission. Actually, the Al layer enhances subsequently the PL emission and promotes the blue and red emission.

The paper deals with the study of optical properties of graphene oxide (GO) by inkjet printing. Defined structure of GO can be obtained by reducing of prepared layers either by heating or by UV radiation (rGO). The dispersion function for refractive index and extinction coefficient of GO and both rGO thin films were measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry in the wavelength range of 200 – 850 nm. Spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) was used characterize the optical response of layer of GO reduced by UV and thermal reduction GO in visible range.

ABSTRACTCreating optical quality thin films with a high refractive index is increasingly important for waveguide sensor applications. In this study, we present optical models to measure the layer thickness, vertical and lateral homogeneity, the refractive index and the extinction coefficients of the polymer films with nanocrystal inclusions using spectroscopic ellipsometry. The optical properties can be determined in a broad wavelength range from 190 to 1700 nm. The sensitivity of spectroscopic ellipsometry allows a detailed characterization of the nanostructure of the layer, i.e. the surface roughness down to the nm scale, the interface properties, the optical density profile within the layer, and any other optical parameters that can be modeled in a proper and consistent way. In case of larger than about 50 nm particles even the particle size can be determined from the onset of depolarization due to light scattering. Besides the refractive index, the extinction coefficient, being a critical parameter for waveguiding layers, was also determined in a broad wavelength range. Using the above information from the ellipsometric models the preparation conditions can be identified. A range of samples were investigated including doctor bladed films using TiO2 nanoparticles.

AbstractHeteroepitaxial Sr_0.61Ba_0.39Nb_2O_6 films have been formed on MgO(001) substrates by RF deposition in an oxygen atmosphere. The film orientation with respect to the substrate is investigated using X-ray diffraction. The permittivity dispersion parameters in the visible range are determined by measuring optical transmission spectra. The films are found to have a wider band gap and a smaller refractive index as compared with the single-crystal material.

AbstractThis work highlights some physical properties related to the influence of aluminum, tin and copper incorporation on nanostructured zinc oxide (ZnO:M; M:Al, Sn and Cu) thin films prepared by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis technique (USP) on glass substrate at 350±5 °C. For the as-grown layers, M- to Zn-ratio was fixed at 1.5 %. The effects of metal doping on structural, morphological, optical and electrical properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction pattern revealed that the as-prepared thin films crystallized in hexagonal structure with (0 0 2) preferred orientation. The surface topography of the films was performed by atomic force microscopy. AFM images revealed inhibition of grain growth due to the doping elements incorporation into ZnO matrix, which induced the formation of ZnO nanoparticles. Optical measurements showed a high transparency around 90 % in visible range. Some optical parameters, such as optical band gap, Urbach energy, refractive index, extinction coeffi-cient and dielectric constant were studied in terms of doping element. Particularly, dispersion of refractive index was discussed in terms of both Cauchy and single oscillator model proposed by Wemple and DiDomenico. Cauchy parameters and single oscillator energy E0 as well as dispersion energy Ed were calculated. Finally, electrical properties were investigated by means of electrical conductivity and Hall effect measurements. The measurements confirmed n type conductivity of the prepared thin films and a good agreement between the resistivity values and the oxidation number of doping element. The main aim of this work was the selection of the best candidate for doping ZnO for optoelectronics applications. The comparative study of M doped ZnO (M:Al, Sn and Cu) was performed. High rectifying efficiency of the Al/n-ZnO/p-Si/Al device was achieved and non-ideal behavior was revealed with n > 4.

Processes of e-beam and holographic recording of surface-relief structures using Ge5As37S58–Se multilayer nanostructures as registering media were studied in this paper. Optical properties of Ge5As37S58, Se layers and Ge5As37S58–Se multilayer nanostructures were investigated. Spectral dependencies of refractive index were analyzed within the frames of single-oscillator model. Values of optical band gaps for Ge5As37S58, Se layers and Ge5As37S58–Se multilayer nanostructures were obtained from Tauc dependencies. Holographic recording process depends on the polarization of the recording beams.

We present a systematic first-principles study of the structural, elastic, electronic, optical and thermodynamics properties of the sulvanite compounds Cu3TMS4 (TM = V, Nb and Ta). The structural, elastic and electronic properties are in fact revisited using a different calculation code than that used by other workers and the results are compared. The band gaps are found to be 1.041, 1.667 and 1.815 eV for Cu3VS4, Cu3NbS4 and Cu3TaS4, respectively which are comparable to other available calculated results. The optical properties such as dielectric function, refractive index, photoconductivity, absorption coefficients, reflectivity and loss function have been calculated for the first time. The calculated results are compared with the limited measured data on energy dependent refractive index and reflectivity coefficient available only for Cu3TaS4. All the materials are dielectric, transparent in the visible range. The values of plasma frequencies are found to be 15.36, 15.58 and 15.64 eV for Cu3VS4, Cu3NbS4 and Cu3TaS4, respectively. Furthermore, following the quasi-harmonic Debye model, the temperature effect on the bulk modulus, heat capacity, and Debye temperature is calculated reflecting the anharmonic phonon effects and these are compared with both experimental and other theoretical data where available. © 2014 JSR Publications.

The effect of silver nanoparticles doped in PVA on the structural and optical properties of composite films is studied experimentally. Samples are PVA films of 0.14 mm thickness doped with different sizes and concentrations of silver nanoparticles. Structural properties are studied using X-ray diffraction and FTIR spectrum. Using the reflectance and transmittance of samples, the effect of doped nanoparticles and their concentration on optical parameters of PVA films include absorption coefficient, optical bandgap energy, complex refractive index, complex dielectric function, complex optical conductivity, and relaxation time is extracted and discussed. The dispersion of the refractive index of films in terms of the single oscillator Wemple-DiDomenico (WD) model is investigated and the dispersion parameters are calculated. Results show that by doping silver nanoparticles in PVA, number of Bragg’s planes in the structure of polymer and its crystallinity are increased noticeably. Ag–O bonds are formed in the films and the bandgap energy of samples is decreased. Calculations based on WD model confirm that by doping nanoparticles, the anion strength of PVA as a dielectric medium is decreased.
