PMMA/TiO2 homogeneous thin films were deposited by using plasma jet system under normal atmospheric pressure and room temperature. PMMA/TiO2 nanocomposite thin film synthesized by plasma polymerization. Titanium oxide was mixed with Methyl Methacrylate Monomer (MMA) with specific weight ratios (1, 3 and 5 grams of TiO2 per 100 ml of MMA). Optical properties of PMMA/TiO2 nanocomposite thin films were characterized by UV-Visible absorption spectra using a double beam UV-Vis-NIR Spectrophotometer. The thin films surface morphological analysis is carried out by employing SEM. The structure analysis are achieved by X-ray diffraction. UV-Visible absorption spectra shows that the increasing the concentration of titanium oxide added to the polymer leads to shift the peak position (λmax) toward the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Also the peak width increases when the concentration of TiO2 increases. It can be controlled optical energy band gap of PMMA/TiO2 nanocomposite thin films by changing concentration of TiO2. SEM indicate a uniform distribution of titanium oxide particles in PMMA matrix. The x-ray diffraction pattern indicated that the thin films have amorphous structure.

AC transport properties and dielectric response of sandwich geometry (Ag/CuPc/Ag) of CuPc(CuPc) thin films deposited using thermal evaporation technique have been studied within frequency range 1 Hz–10 KHz and in temperature range 303–383 K. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) investigations of these films reveal fiber like morphology. Crystalline natures of CuPc films have been characterized using X-ray diffraction for different temperatures. The molecular orientations in films for different substrate temperatures have been confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. The optical band gaps calculated from the UV–Visible absorption spectra is found to lie in the range 3.01–3.15 eV. Electrical conductivity of CuPc films increases with increase of temperature. The hole mobility values of CuPc films at different temperatures have been calculated using negative differential susceptance (–ΔB) technique. Both capacitance and dielectric constant have been found to decrease with the increase of frequency and temperature.

In this work, SnO2 and (SnO2)1-x(ZnO)x composite thin films with different ZnO atomic ratios (x=0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%) were prepared by pulsed laser deposition technique on clean glass substrates at room temperature without any treatment. The deposited thin films were characterized by x-ray diffraction atomic force microscope  and UV-visible spectrophotometer to study the effect of the ZnO atomic ratio on their structural, morphological and optical properties. It was found that the crystallinety and the crystalline size vary according to ZnO atomic ratio. The surface appeared as longitudinal structures which was convert to spherical shapes with increasing ZnO atomic ratio. The optical transmission and energy gap increased with increasing ZnO atomic ratio.

Nanocrystalline cadmium sulfide/Polyvinyl alcohol composite films were prepared by chemical route using Cadmium acetate and hydrogen sulfide gas as cadmium and sulfur source respectively. Poly vinyl Alcohal (PVA) used as polymer matrix. The initially loading of cadmium precursor influences the size as well as photoluminescence and electroluminescence properties of the Composite film. The films were characterized by X Ray Diffraction (XRD), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and UV-Visible Absorption spectra. The X-ray Diffraction result showed that CdS nanocrystals embedded in polymer matrix were in a zinc blend cubic structure. The UV-Visible absorption spectra of composite film reveal the blue shift in the band gap energy with respect to CdS bulk (2.42eV) material owing to quantum confinement effect. The Photoluminescence emission spectra show the green light emission at 510 nm arising from the defects states due to excess of cadmium or sulfur anion vacancies. Electroluminescence study indicates enhanced emission with low turn on voltage for higher loading of cadmium in polymer matrix due to increased oscillator strength. When higher electric field is applied, light emission start due to acceleration collision mechanism by charge carries inside the composite film.

In this work, the effects of Fe/Ni co-doping on structural and optical properties of TiO2 thin films were investigated by the X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and UV-visible spectroscopy. The optical properties of transmittance, extinction coefficient, refractive index, real and imaginary parts of dielectric constant of the thin films, prepared by spray pyrolysis, revealed that the absorption in visible region increases due to the influence of Fe/Ni co-doping. The widening of the gap energies is observed as a result of doping. The increased optical gap as a consequence of doping can be explained by decreasing the size of nanoparticles, as confirmed by SEM and increasing the formation of oxygen vacancies as a result of Ni[Formula: see text] substitution to Ti[Formula: see text] and appearance of the Burstein–Moss effect.

In this work, we have investigated the influence of rapid thermal annealing (RTA) on structural and optical properties of ZnO nanorods synthesized by a mechanochemical reaction route using a planetary ball mill for different reaction time durations. Optical properties of as-grown and RTA-annealed samples are studied by UV–visible absorption and photoluminescence (PL), while structural studies are performed using X-ray diffraction line profile analysis and transmission electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction pattern of each sample is accompanied by characteristic wurtzite peaks of zinc oxide and exhibits the decrease in full width half maxima of the peaks after RTA. Williamson–Hall plot of each pattern is done to correlate the effect of strain of as-synthesized and RTA-treated samples. UV–visible absorption spectra show distinct redshift of excitonic absorption peaks with respect to those of as-synthesized samples. Interestingly, in PL spectra, the broad visible emission peaks observed for as-synthesized samples are eliminated completely for annealed samples. However, some of the constituent peaks in the UV–blue region of the PL spectra redshifted due to the grain growth and strain reduction.

The effect of heat treatment on the optical properties of the bulk heterojunction blend nickel (II) phthalocyanine tetrasulfonic acid tetrasodium salt and Tris (8-hydroxyquinolinato) Aluminum (NiPcTs/Alq3) thin films which prepared by spin coating was described in this study. The films coated on a glass substrate with speed of 1500 rpm for 1.5 min and treated with different annealing temperature (373, 423 and 473) K. The samples characterized using UV-Vis, X ray diffraction and Fourier transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra, XRD patterns indicated the presence of amorphous and polycrystalline blend (NiPcTs/Alq3). The results of UV visible shows that the band gap increase with increasing the annealing temperature up to 373 K and decreases with increase the annealing temperature to (423, 473)K respectively.

Anatase TiO2 thin films are deposited on K9 glass samples at different substrate temperatures by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. N ion implantation is performed in the as-deposited TiO2 thin films at ion fluences of 5 × 1016, 1 × 1017, and 5 × 1017 ions/cm2. X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV–visible spectrophotometer are used to characterize the films. With increasing N ion fluences, the absorption edges of anatase TiO2 films shift to longer wavelengths and the absorbance increases in the visible light region. XPS results show that the red shift of TiO2 films is due to the formation of N–Ti–O compounds. As a result, photoactivity is enhanced with increasing N ion fluence.

Sol gel indium tin oxide thin films (In: Sn = 90:10) were prepared by the sol-gel dipcoating process on silicon buffer substrate. The precursor solution was prepared by mixing SnCl2.2H2O and InCl3 dissolved in ethanol and acetic acid. The crystalline structure and grain orientation of ITO films were determined by X-ray diffraction. The surface morphology of the films was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Optical transmission and reflectance spectra of the films were analyzed by using a UV-visible spectrophotometer. The transport properties of majority charge carriers for these films were studied by Hall measurement. ITO thin film with electrical resistivity of 7.6 ×10-3 3.cm, Hall mobility of approximately 2 cm2(Vs)-1 and free carrier concentration of approximately 4.2 ×1020 cm-3 are obtained for films 100 nm thick films. The I-V curve measurement showed typical I-V characteristic behavior of sol gel ITO thin films.
