The Cu3N films were deposited successfully by reactive direct current magnetron sputtering, the films were comprehensively and systematically characterized by X-ray diffraction analyzer (XRD), UV-Visible spectrophotometer, four-probe resistance tester and other instruments. Results showed that under low deposition power (80W~100W), crystal orientation increased, which is attributed to higher energy under higher power. When sputtering power exceeded the value, excessive energy led to anti-sputtering hindering the process of further nucleation and growth of films. The transmittance of the films deposited under 100W reached the peak value of 78% on the scope of near-infrared light, and optical band gap (Eg) of 1.35ev. The resistivity of Cu3N films increased from 9.68×102Ω.cm to 2.12×103Ω.cm with increasing in sputtering power up to 100W.

Using Fe (NO3)3⋅9H2O, Y(NO3)3⋅6H2O and citric acid as the main raw material, the YFeO3 nanoparticles were synthesized by ultrasonic assisted process and calcination. The YFeO3 nanoparticles were characterized by thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The results show that the perovskite structureYFeO3 (YFeO3-800) can be obtained through the calcination of ultrasonic processed YFeO3 precursors at 800 °C, and the resulting product has a particle size of 70 nm and an optical band gap of 2.0 eV. Consequently, the YFeO3-800 nanoparticles show high photocatalytic activity for decomposition of methyl orange under visible-light irradiation.

Abstract Lithium tetraborate nanoparticles co-doped with various percentages of Cu and Mg impurities were synthesized through the combustion process. Scanning electron microscopy images along with X-Ray diffraction pattern confirmed the shape and structure of the products. The Williamson-Hall equation was used to measure the size of nanoparticles that resulted in approximately 47 nm for the crystallite size. The optical band gap of about 3.7 eV was obtained for the nanostructures from the UV-visible spectrum. Furthermore, the thermoluminescence features the samples under gamma irradiation were studied at ambient conditions. The highest thermoluminescence sensitivity achieved at 0.02 % wt Cu and 0.5 % wt Mg impurities simultaneously. The results show that the co-doped nanoparticles have a linear dose response up to an administrated dose of 30 kGy and about 10% of the thermoluminescence signal fades after 30 days of storage at room temperature.

Sn precursor layer was evaporated on a glass substrate by an electron-beam evaporation method and followed by selenization using Se powder. SnSe film was successfully prepared by adjusting the selenization temperature and selenization time. The phase, microstructure and optical properties of the SnSe films were studied by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, and UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer. The results demonstrated that the pure phase polycrystalline SnSe films with a band gap of 0.93 eV could be prepared by selenizing at 450[Formula: see text]C for 60 min. Under the irradiation of a 980 nm laser with a power of 2 mW/cm2, photoelectric response characteristics of the SnSe films were tested, and the response time and recovery time of the prepared film were 62 ms and 80 ms, respectively, indicating that the SnSe film had a large application prospect in near-infrared light detection.

Cs x WO 3 nanoparticles in the range of 20–50 nm have been successfully synthesized by the supercritical solvothermal approach, where after dissolving WCl6 and CsOH in a mixed solution of water, ethanol and oleic acid, the solution was heated at 300°C. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, TEM, HR-TEM, EDS, laser particle size analysis and thermographic measurements. Cs x WO 3 nanoparticles showed the high transparency in the visible region, excellent shielding performance of the near-infrared light and limited reflectance of light in the range of 200–2700 nm, indicating the strong absorption of NIR light on the nanosized Cs x WO 3. Cs x WO 3 nanoparticles also exhibited quick conversion of photo-energy to local heat.

Abstract. Neodymium doped sodium bismuth borate (Na2O-Bi2O3-B2O3) glasses were prepared by melt quenching method. Amorphous nature of the glass is confirmed through the X-ray diffraction study. Density of the investigated glasses increases systematically with Bi2O3 concentration. Glass transition temperature decrease slightly with increase of Bi2O3 content and could be due to increase in the number of weaker Bi-O linkages by stronger Nd-O linkages. Fourier Transform - Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been carried out. The IR spectra of the glasses reveal that the strong network consisting of diborate units and is unaffected by the variation of Nd3+ concentration. UV-Visible absorption studies have been performed on these glasses to examine the optical spectra and the optical band gap energy has been calculated. The intensity of the absorption band increases with the increase of Nd3+ concentration. This is due to the formation of non-bridging oxygens (NBO’s) in the structure.

AbstractWe present an overview of recent results on optical coherence tomography with the use of extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray radiation (XCT). XCT is a cross-sectional imaging method that has emerged as a derivative of optical coherence tomography (OCT). In contrast to OCT, which typically uses near-infrared light, XCT utilizes broad bandwidth extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and soft X-ray (SXR) radiation (Fuchs et al in Sci Rep 6:20658, 2016). As in OCT, XCT’s axial resolution only scales with the coherence length of the light source. Thus, an axial resolution down to the nanometer range can be achieved. This is an improvement of up to three orders of magnitude in comparison to OCT. XCT measures the reflected spectrum in a common-path interferometric setup to retrieve the axial structure of nanometer-sized samples. The technique has been demonstrated with broad bandwidth XUV/SXR radiation from synchrotron facilities and recently with compact laboratory-based laser-driven sources. Axial resolutions down to 2.2 nm have been achieved experimentally. XCT has potential applications in three-dimensional imaging of silicon-based semiconductors, lithography masks, and layered structures like XUV mirrors and solar cells.

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.
