Resonant absorbers based on nanostructured materials are promising for variety of applications including optical filters, thermophotovoltaics, thermal emitters, and hot-electron collection. One of the significant challenges for such micro/nanoscale featured medium or surface, however, is costly lithographic processes for structural patterning which restricted from industrial production of compl...

Nanostructured carbon-doped TiO2 (C-TiO2) thin film was prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on ITO substrate. Results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the thin film showed that the crystal structure of the C-TiO2 was a hybrid of rutile and anatase. Data of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) analysis confirmed the successful incorporation of carbon into TiO2 molecules, which for...

In this contribution, we report on the simulation of optical reflectance and transmittance (R&T) taken a set gold nanoparticles thin film, deposited sodium alginate by magnetron sputtering. The layer is very thin, so that films are not continuous material arranged in nanostructured layers. R&T spectra simulated using Generalized Transfer Matrix method applied to film-on-substrate model....

Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films have been widely investigated due to their multifunctional properties, i.e., catalytic, semiconducting and optical. They have found practical use in a wide number of application fields. However, the presence of a compact micro/nanostructure has often limited the resulting material properties. Moreover, with the advent of low-dimensional ZnO nanostructures featuring u...
