ZnO is known as an inorganic material that has a variety of morphologies. The morphologies of the ZnO are much influenced by the synthesis route. In this work, two ZnO nanomaterials were prepared by the sol-gel route and the effect of detergent on the morphology and optical band gap of ZnO materials were investigated. The synthesized ZnO materials were characterized using Simultaneous Thermogravimetric Analyzer (STA), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM). The UV-Vis spectrophotometer is used to determine the optical band gap. The results show that the presence of detergent affected the morphology of the ZnO from nanorods to nano-flakes. The band gap energy of the ZnO were also reduced from 3.14 ev to 2.98 eV from the nanorod to the nanoflakes.

This paper will present on preparation and characterizations of hybrid nanoTiO2/ZnO using sol-gel spin coating techniques. The study involved of modification band-gap energy of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) at different precursor molecular concentration of Zinc oxide (ZnO). The FESEM (Field emission scanning electron microscope) morphological characterize shows TiO2 and ZnO particle produced at nanoscale size. The compositional of both particles confirmed using EDAX (Energy Disperse Analyzer X-ray) analysis. The XRD (X-Ray diffraction) characterize measured the structural properties of anatase and rutile for TiO2 as well as zincite for ZnO. By increasing ZnO molecular concentration, the crystallite size, d were decreased until the optimum sample, ratio of 4 TiO2 : 1 ZnO, with value of 23.71 nm. For UV-VIS (Ultra-Violet/Visible Spectroscopy) measurement, we found the optical band-gap increased with increasing ZnO molecular concentration. The optical band-gap for optimum sample was 3.38 e.V represented this study has successfully improved the optical band-gap of TiO2.

Borotellurite glass had been widely applied in the field of optical communications and devices. In this work, holmium oxides doped borotellurite glass had been successfully fabricated via conventional melt-quenched technique. The structural properties of holmium doped tellurite glass were found using x-ray diffraction (XRD) method. The nonexistence of sharp peaks in XRD pattern shows that the inclusion of holmium tellurite glass leads to the formation long range of disorderness. The optical properties of the glass system such as refractive index and optical band gap energy are investigated using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The value of refractive index is found in nonlinear trend along with holmium oxides concentration. It is found that the refractive index is more than 2 at 0.01, 0.03 and 0.04 of holmium concentrations. The optical band gap energy was found in similar trend with refractive index which is in nonlinear pattern.

AbstractNanoscale FeAl2O4 was successfully synthesized via sol–gel method. The sol constituents containing iron and aluminum cations were formed homogenously in stearic acid gel (formation of organic precursor). The pure structural analysis and the size of the spinels were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was observed that the size of the nanoscale materials obtained at around 30–40nm. The micrographs of FeAl2O4 evidenced the homogenous and nanosize formation of spinel. The semiconducting behavior of this mixed metal oxide was observed at 3.14eV based on the band gap energy (Eg). The final nanoscale materials exhibited a superparamagnetic behavior with a saturation magnetization of 9.8 emu/g at applied field of 10 kOe.

Pure and F doped TiO2 nanotubes was synthesized using simple hydrothermal method. The hydrothermal was conducted using teflon-liner autoclave and maintained at 150oC for 24 hours. The characterization of synthesised product was carried out using x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy dispersive of x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and ultra violet – visible light diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS) for band gap measurements. XRD patterns indicated that anatase TiO2 phase was remained after F doping suggested that fluorine was highly dispersed into TiO2 by substituted with O in the TiO2 lattice to formed TiO2-xFx solid solution. Morphology investigation using TEM found out small diameter of nanotubes structure within 8 – 10 nm of pure and F doped TiO2 nanotubes. The band gap energy (Eg) of both nanotubes samples were almost similar proposing that F doping does not modify the band gap energy.

Neodymium-doped Na2O-ZnO-TeO2 (NZT) glasses were prepared by the conventional melt quenching technique. DTA and TG were used to confirm glass preparation through the glass transition temperature at 447°C for the glass system. The analysis of FTIR spectra and X-ray diffraction described the samples' nature as ionic and amorphous, respectively. The optical band gap energy was estimated using absorption spectra and found to be decreased from 2.63eV to 1.32 eV due to the increase of doping concentration. The intensity of the emission spectra was enhanced for the higher concentration of Nd3+ ions. The dielectric constant of the glass samples was found to be constant for the large range of frequency (3 kHz to 1 MHz). The variation of conductivity with the temperature of the samples had shown the Arrhenius mechanism of conduction.

PbSe thin films are prepared by chemical bath deposition technique over microscope glass substrates from an aqueous acidic bath containing lead nitrate and sodium selenate. The influence of bath temperature on the properties of PbSe film is investigated. The X-ray diffraction analysis showed the deposited films were polycrystalline and having the (111) orientation. The surface morphology study revealed that the grains have cubic shape crystal. The band gap energy was decreased from 2.0 to 1.3 eV as the bath temperature was increased from 40 to 80°C. The films deposited at 80°C showed good crystallinity and uniformly distributed over the surface of substrate with larger grain sizes. Therefore, the optimum bath temperature is 80°C.

In this work, we used the chemical vapor transport (CVT) method to grow PbI2 crystals using iodine as a self-transporting agent. The crystals’ structure, composition, and uniformity were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) measurements. We investigated the band gap energy using absorption spectroscopy measurements. Furthermore, we explored the temperature dependence of the band gap energy, which shifts from 2.346 eV at 300 K to 2.487 eV at 20 K, and extracted the temperature coefficients. A prototype photodetector with a lateral metal–semiconductor–metal (MSM) configuration was fabricated to evaluate its photoelectric properties using a photoconductivity spectrum (PC) and persistent photoconductivity (PPC) experiments. The resonance-like PC peak indicates the excitonic transition in absorption. The photoresponse ILight/IDark-1 is up to 200%.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were successfully synthesised by hydrothermal method using TiO2 microparticle powder (Merck) as precursor. TiO2 microparticles powder (~160 nm) was mixed with 10 M NaOH and treated hydrothermally at 150 °C and 2 MPa pressure in autoclave for 24 hours. After hydrothermal reaction was completed, the sample was washed, dried and heated at 500 °C for 2 hours to produce TiO2 nanoparticles. The synthesised nanoparticles were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and raman spectroscopy. UV-Vis DRS was used to determine the band gap energy. Field emissions and transmissions electron microscopy images revealed that nanoparticles obtained was about 14 nm. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that TiO2 nanoparticles were anatase phase (tetragonal). The band gap energy of TiO2 nanoparticles was determined to be 3.32 eV.

AbstractChernikovite and meta-ankoleite were synthesized with a relatively high crystallinity and the compounds were identified by means of chemical analysis and X-ray diffraction. The infrared spectra were recorded and the bands assigned. From the luminescence spectra, the band-gap energy for both compounds was calculated as 2.35 eV, indicating that they must be considered as insulators. The dependence of the solubilities of these compounds on the acidity of the solution was studied, and the dominant ionic species were determined. The pKsp values of chernikovite and meta-ankoleite were found to be 22.73±0.24 and 24.30±0.81 respectively.
