Light‐tunable optical cell manipulation via photoactive azobenzene‐containing thin film bio‐substrate

Jump method for optical thin film design.

This paper proposes a method called Jump method for optimization of optical thin films. The method is the combination of local search strategy using modified Coordinate-Wise Algorithm and global search strategy using modified Evolutionary Algorithm. Jump method can evolve the designs of optical thin films for good performances. The design of a dielectric beam splitter and an edge filter as exam...

Optical diagnostics for thin film processing.

Optical diagnostics are used to probe the plasma or neutral gas above the substrate, particles in the gas or on the surface, the film surface and reactor walls, the film itself, and the substrate during thin film processing. The development and application of optical probes are highlighted, in particular for analyzing plasma/gas phase intermediates and products and film composition, and perform...

Ab–initio study of the electronic and optical traits of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 nanostructured thin film

The electronic, and optical properties of rhombohedral Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3nanostructured thin film have been studied by the first–principle approach. Densityfunctional theory (DFT) has been employed to calculate the fundamental properties ofthe layers using full–potential linearized augmented plane–wave (FPLAPW) method. A2×2×1 supercell was constructed with two vacuum slabs o...

Improving the optical properties of thin film plasmonic solar cells of InP absorber layer using nanowires

In this paper, a thin-film InP-based solar cell designed and simulated. The proposed InP solar cell has a periodic array of plasmonic back-reflector, which consists of a silver layer and two silver nanowires. The indium tin oxide (ITO) layer also utilized as an anti-reflection coating (ARC) layer on top. The design creates a light-trapping structure by using a plasmonic back-reflector and an an...
