ZnO has recently attracted considerable attention due to its favorable properties such as the wider band gap (3.37eV) at room temperature, the large binding energy of excitons (60meV). These good photoelectric and piezoelectric properties [1-4] cause it has immensity space for developing at surface acoustic wave devices, light emitting diodes (LEDs) [5] , photodetectors [6], gas sensor and solar cells [7] etc. MgZnO has many similar properties to ZnO. Furthermore, the band gap of MgZnO is 3.3-4.0eV [9] due to the wider band gap of MgO (7.7eV [8]). In this paper, we report the characteristic of MgxZn1-xO films which were grown on c-plane sapphire with different thickness-ZnO buffer layers by MOCVD. By investigating the surface morphology, structural and optical properties, some dependences between properties of MgZnO films and the thicknesses of ZnO buffer layers can be found.

Zinc sulfide(ZnS) thin films of different thickness were deposited on corning glass with the substrate kept at room temperature and high vacuum using thermal evaporation technique.the film properties investigated include their absorbance/transmittance/reflectance spectra,band gap,refractive index,extinction coefficient,complex dielectric constant and thickness.The films were found to exhibt high transmittance(59-98%) ,low absorbance and low reflectance in the visible/near infrared region up to 900 nm..However, the absorbance of the films were found to be high in the ultra violet region with peak around 360 nm.The thickness(using optical interference fringes method) of various films thichness(100,200,300,and 400) nm.The band gap measured was found to be in the range (3.52 -3.78 )eV.

Epitaxial Growth of GaP/InxGa1-xP (xIn ≥ 0.27) Virtual Substrate for Optoelectronic Applications Compositionally graded epitaxial semiconductor buffer layers are prepared with the aim of using them as a virtual substrate for following growth of heterostructures with the lattice parameter different from that of the substrates available on market (GaAs, GaP, InP or InAs). In this paper we report on the preparation of the step graded InxGa1-xP buffer layers on the GaP substrate. The final InxGa1-xP composition xIn was chosen to be at least 0.27. At this composition the InxGa1-xP band-gap structure converts from the indirect to the direct one and the material of such composition is suitable for application in light emitting diode structures. Our task was to design a set of layers with graded composition (graded buffer layer) and to optimize growth parameters with the aim to prepare strain relaxed template of quality suitable for the subsequent epitaxial growth.

Various theoretical as well as empirical considerations about how to achieve lasing between the conduction and valence bands in indirect band gap semiconductors (germanium and silicon) are reviewed, starting from the dawn of the laser epoch in the beginning of the sixties. While in Ge the room-temperature lasing under electrical pumping has recently been achieved, in Si this objective remains still illusory. The necessity of applying a slightly different approach in Si as opposed to Ge is stressed. Recent advances in the field are discussed, based in particular on light-emitting Si quantum dots.

In this paper, we report the structural and optical properties of bamboo-like silicon-doped boron nitride nanotubes. The morphologies and structures of the nanotubes were characterized using electron microscopy and FTIR spectroscopy. Three strong broad peaks centered at 1.76ev, 2.20ev, 2.40ev were observed from the room-temperature PL spectrum of the nanotubes. The spectrum suggested the existence of multifold energy levels within the band gap.

The notable photophysical characteristics of perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) (CsPbBr3) are suitable for optoelectronic devices. However, the performance of PQDs is unstable because of their surface defects. One way to address the instability is to passivate PQDs using different organic (polymers, oligomers, and dendrimers) or inorganic (ZnS, PbS) materials. In this study, we performed steady-state spectroscopic investigations to measure the photoluminescence (PL), absorption (A), transmission (T), and reflectance (R) of perovskite quantum dots (CsPbBr3) and ethylene vinyl acetate/terpene phenol (1%) (EVA-TPR (1%), or EVA) copolymer/perovskite composites in thin films with a thickness of 352 ± 5 nm. EVA is highly transparent because of its large band gap; furthermore, it is inexpensive and easy to process. However, the compatibility between PQDs and EVA should be established; therefore, a series of analyses was performed to compute parameters, such as the band gap, the coefficients of absorbance and extinction, the index of refractivity, and the dielectric constant (real and imaginary parts), from the data obtained from the above investigation. Finally, the optical conductivities of the films were studied. All these analyses showed that the EVA/PQDs were more efficient and stable both physically and optically. Hence, EVA/PQDs could become copolymer/perovskite active materials suitable for optoelectronic devices, such as solar cells and perovskite/polymer light-emitting diodes (PPLEDs).
