Effect of post-thermal annealing on the structural and optical properties of ZnO thin films prepared from a polymer precursor

ZnO thin films were synthesised by a new method which uses polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the polymer precursor. The films are annealed at different temperatures and for different annealing times. The structural parameters, like grain size, lattice constants, optical band gap, and Urbach energy, depend on the annealing temperature and time. All the films possess tensile strain, which relaxes as the annealing temperature and time increase. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra contain only ultraviolet (UV) peaks at low temperature, but as the annealing temperature and time increase, we observe peaks at the blue and green regions with a variation in the intensities of these peaks with annealing temperature and time.

Linear optical characterization of chalcogenide glasses

A simple experimental method is used to obtain the evolution of both the refractive index and the linear absorption coefficient as a function of the optical wavelength in the near infrared range (from 900 up to 1700 nm with 10 nm resolution). Several chalcogenide glasses (As₂S₃, As₂Se₃, GeSe₄) are tested and the corresponding Cauchy coefficients are determined. Comparison of our results shows a good agreement with values available in the literature at some wavelength. Application of this method is used to estimate Cauchy coefficients of Ge₁₀As₁₀Se₈₀ for the first time to our best knowledge.

Structural refinement,optical and ferroelectric properties of microcrystalline Ba(Zr0.05Ti0.95)O3 perovskite

For this study, a microcrystalline Ba(Zr_0.05Ti_0.95)O₃ (BZT) powder was prepared by a high energy ball milling method followed by calcination at 1100 °C for 4 h. The calcined powder was structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement data, which showed that this material has a perovskite-type tetragonal structure with a space group of (P4mmm). The micro-Raman spectrum revealed local lattice distortions due to distorted octahedral [TiO₆] clusters. The temperature and frequency-dependent dielectric study of the BZT ceramic showed normal phase transition behavior. The ferroelectric property was studied by a P–E hysteresis loop. Optical band gap was investigated by ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) absorption spectroscopy at room temperature. The UV–vis spectrum indicated that the BZT powder has an optical band gap of 3.15 eV.

Raman studies and optical properties of some (PbO)x(Bi2O3)0.2(B2O3)0.8−x glasses

Five (PbO)_x(Bi₂O₃)_0.2(B₂O₃)_0.8−x glasses, where x = 0, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.6, were prepared. The dilatometric glass transition temperature (T_g) was found in the region 470 (x = 0)≥ T_g ( °C) ≥ 347 (x = 0.6), and the density (ρ) varied within 4.57 (x = 0) ≤ ρ (g/cm³) ≤ 8.31 (x = 0.6). Raman spectra indicated the conversion of BO₃ to BO₄ entities for low x values but for x > 0.3, namely, for x → 0.6, back‐conversion occurred, most probably. From the measurements of the optical transmission on very thin bulk samples, the room temperature optical gap values (E_g) were determined to be in the range 4.03 (x = 0)≥ E_g (eV) ≥ 3.08 (x = 0.6). The temperature (T) dependence of the optical gap (E_g(T)) in the region 300 ≤ T(K) ≤ 600 was examined and approximated by a linear relationship of the form of E_g(T) = E_g(0)− γT, where γ × 10⁻⁴(eV/K) varied from 5.1 to 6.8. The non‐linear refractive index (n₂) was estimated from the optical gap values and it was found to correspond to the n₂ values calculated from the experimental third‐order non‐linear optical susceptibility taken from the literature.

Effect of neutron-irradiation on optical properties of SiO2-Na2O-MgO-Al2O3 glasses

Silica based glasses are used as nuclear shielding materials. The effect of radiation on these glasses varies as per the constituents used in these glasses. Glasses of different composition of SiO₂-Na₂OMgO-Al₂O₃ were made by melt casting techniques. These glasses were irradiated with neutrons of different fluences. Optical absorption measurements of neutron-irradiated silica based glasses were performed at room temperature (RT) to detect and characterize the induced radiation damage in these materials. The absorption band found for neutron-irradiated glasses are induced by hole type color centers related to non-bridging oxygen ions (NBO) located in different surroundings of glass matrix. Decrease in the transmittance indicates the formation of color-center defects. Values for band gap energy and the width of the energy tail above the mobility gap have been measured before and after irradiation. The band gap energy has been found to decrease with increasing fluence while the Urbach energy shows an increase. The effects of the composition of the glasses on these parameters have been discussed in detail in this paper.

Optical investigation of vacuum evaporated Se80−xTe20Sbx (x = 0, 6, 12) amorphous thin films

Amorphous thin films of Se_80−xTe₂₀Sb_x (x = 0, 6, 12) chalcogenide glasses has been deposited onto pre-cleaned glass substrate using thermal evaporation technique under a vacuum of 10⁻⁵ Torr. The absorption and transmission spectra of these thin films have been recorded using UV spectrophotometer in the spectral range 400–2500 nm at room temperature. Swanepoel envelope method has been employed to obtain film thickness and optical constants such as refractive index, extinction coefficient and dielectric constant. The optical band gap of the samples has been calculated using Tauc relation. The study reveals that optical band gap decreases on increase in Sb content. This is due to decrease in average single bond energy calculated using chemical bond approach. The values of urbach energy has also been computed to support the above observation. Variation of refractive index has also been studies in terms of wavelength and energy using WDD model and values of single oscillator energy and dispersion energy has been obtained.     

Compositional dependence of the optical properties of the amorphous GexTe1−x system

Optical absorption at room temperature of vacuum evaporated Ge_xTe_1−x (0.125?x?0.225) amorphous thin films has been studied as a function of composition. It was found that the optical absorption is due to a direct transition. The real and imaginary parts of the dielectric constant were determined. The single-oscillator energy (E_o) and the energy dispersion parameter (E_d) have been calculated and discussed in terms of the Wemple and Di-Domenico model. The relationship between the optical gap, the average heat of atomization and the coordination numbers has been determined. The optical properties of the amorphous thin films do not change monotonically with increasing Ge content. The observed behavior of the optical properties in the range of compositions studied are explained on the basis of the Bond Constraint Theory (BCT) and rigidity theory, which provide a powerful framework for understanding the structure and properties of amorphous materials. The non-monotonic variation of the optical properties indicates that a transition from floppy to rigid occurs in the Ge_xTe_1−x films.     

Electrical and optical properties of ZnO thin films prepared by magnetron rf sputtering—influence of Al, Er and H

The influence of Al, Er and H in ZnO thin films (ZnO:Al, ZnO:Er and ZnO:H) deposited by magnetron sputtering at different substrate temperatures, T_s, on their optical, structural and electrical properties was investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses show an improvement of the crystalline structure with increasing T_s. The optical band gap, , of the films, from transmission and reflection spectra, ranged from 3.27 to 3.41 eV. The Urbach band tail width was also calculated. Incorporation of Al and Er resulted in a reduced and an increased resistivity, ρ, respectively, and an increase in the Urbach tail width in both cases. However, sputtering in an Ar+H₂ gas mixture led to an increase in ρ and an improvement in the structural order of the films. A discussion of the influence of T_s and of Al, Er and H on the properties is presented.     

Synthesis,structure, optical,and electric properties of Ce-doped CuInTe_2 compound

Ce-doped Cu In Te2（CICT） semiconducting compounds are successfully synthesized. The phase structures, optical,and electric properties are investigated using powder X-ray diffraction（XRD）, field emission scanning electron microscopy（FESEM）, X-ray photoelectron spectrometer（XPS）, Raman spectrometer, ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometer（UVVis）, and a standard four-probe method. Cu In1-xCex Te2 crystallizes into a tetragonal structure with predominant orientation along the [112] direction. The lattice parameters are a = 6.190（6） A–6.193（0） A and c = 12.406（5） A–12.409（5） A. Ce prefers to occupy the 4b crystal position. According to the analysis of XPS spectra, Ce shows the mixture of valences 4＋and 3＋. Raman spectra reveal that the photon vibrating model in the CICT follows A1 mode in a wavenumber range of123 cm^-1–128 cm^-1. UV-Vis spectra show that the band gap Eg values before and after 0.1 mole Ce doped into Cu In Te2 are 1.28 e V and 1.16 e V, respectively. It might be due to the mixture of valences for Ce. Ce doped into Cu In Te2 still shows the semiconductor characteristics.     

Nonlinear optical characterization of phosphate glasses based on ZnO using the Z-scan technique

The nonlinear optical properties of a phosphate vitreous system [(ZnO)_x-(MgO)_30-x-(P₂ O₅)₇₀], where x=8, 10, 15, 18, and 20 mol% synthesized through the melt-quenching technique have been investigated by using the Z-scan technique. In the experiment, a continuous-wave laser with a wavelength of 405 nm was utilized to determine the sign and value of the nonlinear refractive (NLR) index and the absorption coefficient with closed and opened apertures of the Z-scan setup. The NLR index was found to increase with the ZnO concentration in the glass samples by an order of 10^-10 cm²·W^-1. The real and imaginary parts of the third-order nonlinear susceptibility were calculated by referring to the NLR index (n₂) and absorption coefficient (β) of the samples. The value of the third-order nonlinear susceptibility was presented by nonlinear refractive or absorptive behavior of phosphate glasses for proper utilization in nonlinear optical devices. Based on the measurement, the positive sign of the NLR index shows a self-focusing phenomenon. The figures of merit for each sample were calculated to judge the potential of phosphate glasses for application in optical switching.
